Basically the only things I care about in life are playing music, creating other kinds of art, and experiencing as much art and music as I can. Everything else is secondary. I take my job seriously enough to support myself, but I try to work as little as possible to make room for what really matters to me. Right now I've got three projects that I play shows with, and several others in the works. I've been taking it easy with art, but am starting to work on some paid pieces for friends and bands. I hope to meet other musicians, artists, and art appreciators.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Immediately, to find a place to stay in LA. In general, because I want to have the freedom to travel without having to save hundreds of dollars for hotels.

Teach, Learn, Share

I could teach a little drums or guitar. I don't know if I have any concrete knowledge of scientific theories to offer, but I really enjoy discussing them.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love to cook, I'd be willing to cook for anyone I stay with. I tend towards Mexican, Thai, and American food, vegan or not, doesn't matter to me. Of course I'll help financially by picking up anything you would need around the house, or smokes, booze, whatever seems fair.
