CURRENT MISSION

To spin around so fast I transport myself to another place and time...

ABOUT ME

I'm just a regular guy who loves music and loves the thought of never having a 9 to 5 type of job...

PHILOSOPHY

I live my life to make music, friends, and memories.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Once you've done a little adventure traveling/backpacking/couchsurfing - it becomes part of you. It seeps into your psyche fills your blood with electricity. More often than not, a memory will come to mind that stirs the giant inside. Later that day you find yourself researching your next destination.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I couch-surfed with Louis in Peru! That was amazing. As soon as we got off the plane, we took a cab to Louis' place. We stayed there for a few nights and then headed to Machu Pichu.

Interests

Waking up and making the perfect cup of coffee. Writing music in my studio, or heading down to the local diner to eat breakfast and write lyrics. Strolling down to the used book store where I could spend hours. Bing reading. Watching basketball with my friends. Dreaming about hiking the Appalachian Trail. Playing the occasional video game.
