CURRENT MISSION

Meeting/Enjoying/Sharing with any and everybody from anywhere.

ABOUT ME

I love playing music, climbing trees, and meeting super cool people from all over the world. I have an unshakeable love for craft beer and make a point to seek it out in my travels. I play in two local bands and am constantly searching for new music. I'm particularly fond of 90's indie rock (Pavement, Superchunk, Cap'n Jazz, Dinosaur Jr., etc.) but am down for just about anything. I kind of live a music-oriented life

PHILOSOPHY

Positivity, reasonable risk-taking, honesty.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I book shows at a local venue, make a point to see as many local concerts as possible, and genuinely enjoy making a point to have the best time possible.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Up to this point, I've only hosted couchsurfers

Interests

Climbing trees, deeper conversations, gospel music, music, fireworks, any music, drinking good beer, staying up a little too late, eating avocados.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In Iceland, accidentally taking an off limits gravel road to a glacier almost getting stuck in a blizzard on the way back, but returning home safely and completely exhilarated.

Teach, Learn, Share

All I hope to do is infect people with a sense of optimism and self-worth. And I hope people do the same.
