Hey, I am a marketing professional by day and a performing artist of many mediums in my spare time. Currently, I have a Band based in Austin that I have booked to perform in Brownsville and Mcallen the first weekend of April.

*Update* even though my address in South Texas is verified, I am currently living in Dallas. I plan on verifying this address soon.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I used this site to travel lightly in Russia and Sweden, and I do use it from time to time when I travel for my marketing work.

I have had consistent positive experiences on this site, and I really enjoyed the culture and admire the courage of both hosts and surfers.

I consider myself a citizen of the world.

I enjoy listening to others’ perspectives and especially learning.

Interests

Hopefully, one day I will meet the love of my life during a trip, but until then, let’s hang out and walk around a park, go to a live music concert, a comedy show, or try some kind of food we’ve never had before.

Low-key, I enjoy arcades, mini golf, go karts, but I also have an affinity with forest, mountains, and rivers.

The beach is always a good option for me.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music is everything. Laid-back, Talking Heads, Tom Waits, Green Day, Radiohead, classical, jazz, movie, soundtracks, so many to list here, but this is a good start

Films have taught me so much, so as I share these titles, so do I share a part of me.

Mean streets, dog day afternoon, interstellar, Birdman, noises off, the sound of music, better man, man bites dog, meeting people is easy, the shining, it’s a wonderful life, Jacob’s ladder, melancholia, nymphomaniac, what dreams may come, the campaign, the pianist, bad Lieutenant, the omen, after hours, before the devil knows you’re dead, late night with the devil, the motorcycle diaries, Dolores, an American movie, Dale and Tucker versus evil, porky, the thin red line,

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

attended the Taylor Hawkins tribute show in Los Angeles that lasted six hours and featured some of the most heavyweight musicians still rocking and rolling. I will never regret that show.

I’ve also played on stage with Green Day in San Antonio. This was a childhood dream come true.

Teach, Learn, Share

TEACH: guitar, Spanish, a few English dialects, and a few marketing tips and tricks

LEARN: foreign languages, cooking recipes, how you view the United States or the “west”, what you perceive me to be ignorant of, so that I can grow and have a more full perspective of reality.

SHARE music, stories, jokes, expenses

electric guitar, energy drinks, toiletries, towels, and an extra pillow or a chair
