I live life for the adventure that it provides. If I feel like my life is getting a little too predictable, I have to switch something up just to keep my sanity. I'll take the long way home over the short way home every day of the week.

I love having my horizons broadened through new experiences: conversations with people of other cultures, new culinary encounters, engaging in new outdoors activities. I'm also very involved with music. I am not a traditional singer/songwriter, but I write a lot of original material that I struggle to put words to sometimes.
I have been involved with a couple of different groups over the years, but I primarily play electric guitar and can provide some solid background vocals.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I just moved to Seattle & I'm looking to make some new friends and just meet some people in the area! Would love to go for a hike or rock climbing any time.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you something on guitar! I primarily play by ear, but I'm sure I can impart some knowledge to you.

I can advise on home renovations and design decisions. I've been doing high-end residential cabinetry for the past 6 years.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Pleasant conversation, a climbing partner, a pint, & a word of encouragement
