CURRENT MISSION

Exploring the people, places & things that make life meaningful.

ABOUT ME

Keyboard composer...Synth & Orchestra belong together!!!

People seem to describe me as some eclectic mix of geek-jock-artist who's not afraid to get his hands dirty. Maybe "eclectic" is their nice way of saying "eccentric", eh? It can be a blessing or a curse with so many interests. But I love immersing myself in projects of just about any kind...learned a TON of stuff along the way...and it just seems a waste not to keep my head and my hands fully engaged. Professionally, I've done both technology management and designing-building-restoring-staging custom homes. But friends keep nudging me back to the music & production work I've done somewhat innately since I was kid. So, in between all the other wonderful distractions, I'm a full-time composer & production technologist up to my eyeballs in computers, robotics and electronic projects, with racks of music equipment, keyboards & production gear all over the place. Isn't ADHD wonderful!?!?! ;-)

Friends call me "Indi" (yeah...a little embarrassing, but like Indiana Jones) because of my HUGE sense of adventure and how passionate I get about things I do. But I'm generally a pretty laid-back, simple guy with a good sense of humor and an open heart/open mind always ready to explore.

PHILOSOPHY

You can rest when you're dead!

Where my energy ends, my enthusiasm takes over...either way, we're GONNA get there.

Its not the number of profiles you're friends with on Facebook that matter...its the souls you really connect with that count.

Humility isn't thinking less of yourself, but thinking of yourself less!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Exploring the universe (however I can get there), adventures with people and lending a hand whenever I can in other countries and cultures helps keep me grounded in the human experience. I REALLY enjoy spending a few weeks or months every year immersed in a different culture, building things with meaning and/or making music that's infused with the local flavor.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

If you want to make some music, produce a multimedia/special effects show or share/explore your part of the world...chat me up and we'll have an adventure! Want to get creative with me wherever I happen to be hanging...my head, my heart and my home is ready.

Interests

Architecture, construction, historic renovation, restoring cars, building custom computers, hacking electronics, theme parties, road trips, outdoor adventures, bike treks, back-packing around other countries...even throwing a meal together with a friend, chatting around backyard bonfire or lounging around watching movies...its all part of the adventure.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Exploring ancient ruins, digging beneath the cold facade of cities, peering behind the curtain of a theater or hearing the hidden music all around us...the most amazing thing to me is always the PEOPLE that make it happen.

Teach, Learn, Share

In everything I've ever encountered, I'm both student and teacher. Everything I know, I've learned. The more I learn, the more I see there is to know. The more I share, the more I feel there is to give.
