Hey, I'm Andy. I grew up in Rochester, NY and I spent the past 10 years or so in NYC doing nearly everything in the food industry. I've been settled in Austin for about a year and a half now and I very much love it here. I'm currently on a mission to travel everywhere and love to meet interesting people and hear their stories.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'd love the opportunity to meet new, interesting folk

Interests

I've been pretty consistently playing music for most of my life, just about any instrument I can get my hands on. Let's jam! I'm a seasoned veteran of the food industry and love all things food. In my free time I love wandering aimlessly, searching for unique, historic, or just plain weird sights.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music - just about everything
Books - mostly nonfiction, usually about food, productivity, or spirituality
Movies - usually tv (Parks and Rec, Simpsons, Brooklyn Nine Nine, Better Call Saul)
