Hello! I'm a young man from Appleton, Wisconsin, United States, with an interest in foreign language, culture, and history. I play the trumpet, percussion, and piano, and write music as well.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting new people and learning new languages. When I inevitably travel the world, I hope to use this to meet the real faces of the country I stay in, not just the tourist version of it. When I inevitably have my own home, I hope to give others the same experience.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Jazz, Synthpop, Techno, Classical, Sinoalense (Banda)

Movies: Star Wars, Cinema Paradiso, not much else

Books: Star wars novels, language-learning books, Lord of the Rings & The Hobbit

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When he was in my hometown in the spring of 2016, I had a chance to meet and have lunch with Joe Locke, one of the premier Jazz vibraphonists in the world. Since that is my primary instrument, it was an extreme honor!
