I was born and raised in the Chicago area. I’m a singer and guitar player and like performing for people. One day I was chilling on the Riverwalk in Chicago with my music gear and total stranger asked if I would play them a song. It was a great feeling.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm traveling for a year and the reason I'm doing that is to break out of my shell. I've stayed in the same hometown for my whole life and I figured it's time to go see some new sights and meet some new people, and explore new ways of living. Plus it's absolutely terrifyingly exciting to think about! I figured getting to know the locals in the area would be fun to do as well.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Performed for 1000 people. We did the song “Would you be Impressed” by Street Light Manifesto and it was crazy fun. I was jumping and running around on stage and we even got the audience to clap along during the bridge of the song.

Teach, Learn, Share

I’ve watched all of Jordan Peterson’s videos on YouTube several time I might be able to teach it lol. We can write a song, or I can teach some chords if you’re curious about learning.

I also can teach the Wim Hoff Method. It’s pretty much a meditation breathing exercise that helps clear your head of stress

What I Can Share with Hosts

I enjoy talking about ideas with in depth discussion, but I also like stand up comedy as well. I can share my thought, music, good company with my host. I’m also down to go to a bar for some craft beer or perform at open mics for music.
