About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To master the art of percussive wicked beat-making, get enough formal education to have a plan B when I realize I can't make a living off of it, and avoid losing my mind at my mind-numbing office job that pays for it all.

ABOUT ME

I'm a guy that has a nice pull-out sofa with clean sheets you can sleep on if you need a place to crash, that's probably the most important information I can give you. If you want to know what kind of a guy I am, my life is as wild a Cirque du Soleil stage and currently I am the plate spinner trying to keep 12 stories worth of activities and obligations up in the air and hope they don't all come crashing down. Musical expression is my outlet, it keeps me low-key in a high strung environment and keeps me happy, positive, and helps me savor every bit of enjoyment I can squeeze out of a hectic life.

PHILOSOPHY

Does one really need to know another's personal philosophy to spend a night on a sofa? If you do...well, I would have you over just to tell me why and find out what kind of mindset you have that would make that necessary to know.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've done my fair share of couch surfing, both with and without this site and found a lot of generosity given to me by some great people, so now I want to give back to the penny-pinching travelers that need a place to crash the way I did and sometimes still do.

Interests

My primary interest is keeping my beautiful French wife happy, as my greatest accomplishment is catching her interest in the first place. My mistresses are my drums and they keep me happy, so it all works out!

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm a Reggaeholic, and I mean the good stuff: Toots & the Maytals, the Ethiopians, the Pioneers, Junior Murvin, Desmond Dekker, Jimmy Cliff, Junior Byles, Dennis Brown, the list is endless. But, so are the lists of all the other genres I dig.
