About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To connect with people in a meaningful way and meet sweet new people.

ABOUT ME

I was born in St. Paul, MN on 3/10/84. Graduated from Harding High School 2002. Youngest of 4 siblings in an old fashioned nuclear family, 2 brothers and a sister. I love music and literature!

I have complex religious/spiritual views that mean a lot to me...ask me to find out about them.

I want to be a musician. I love how the spirit works in people to write and create. It's what I'll always want to do, and I'm finally working on trying to make that a reality. I love writing songs and thinking and listening to music.

If music doesn't work, I'm going to get a Masters in English and a Masters in theology and then get a doctorate in whichever I prefer.

PHILOSOPHY

Love one another. No, REALLY. And empathize.

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I want to meet some new people on random road trips, and while I roam the country playing shows. I'd also love to meet new people as they come through Minnesota and show them around!

Not a huge movie guy, but I enjoy most of them.

I have come close to injuring Michael Buble, Alanis Morrisette, Dave Grohl, Taylor Swift, and Carol King while working at the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'll have to think on this! I love this community!
