i'm a recovering liberal artist, armchair nihilist & violinist, yet i'm also practical. hablo español, más o menos.

i'm from montana, so the mountains be in me blood!

i'm currently enrolled in the chicago school of violin making and training to be a luthier!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

in this flimflam, distraction-laden, big-box-store era, it's great that people can still have real talk with perfect strangers and treat each other like actual human beings. that and the potlucks. i'm mostly in it for the potlucks.

Music, Movies, and Books

i dig the novels of david foster wallace, herman hesse & dostoevsky. i quite like short stories, too.

i have broad taste in music and am always open to recommendations. i like bach, contemporary jazz, sappy singer-songwriter pop, heinous avant-garde noise and probably whatever you turn me on to! recently digging scandinavian fiddle folk.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

encounters with the deep solitude of the wilderness have stuck with me the most.
