Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy a wide variety of music. Anything from Holst to Stevie Wonder to Gojira to Hank Williams. As long as there is some thought and expression behind it, I enjoy it.

I have a ton of books, so if you visit you're more than welcome to take one with you.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

For two summers I went on an archaeological dig in Israel.

Teach, Learn, Share

I’ve found that you learn from people whether they are trying to teach you something or not.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good conversation, stories, good food, travel advice, and love of music.
