Music, Movies, and Books

Music: the Black Keys, Kings of Leon, Cold War Kids, The Kills, Billy Joel, Ray Lamontagne, Blues, Blues Rock, Jazz, Classical, and much more! My guilty pleasures are Fall Out Boy and Panic! at the Disco.

Movies: I like a movie with a well-written plot and interesting character development -- essentially anything by the Coen Brothers. My guilty pleasures are Star Wars series and Jackass films.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have had the good fortune of spending several years traveling around the US and living in new places four to five months at a time. Few things compare to sitting on the beach on Martha's Vineyard in the middle of summer.

I lived in Germany for 3 years. During that time, I was also able to deliver a speech before members of the German Parliament about my experiences as an exchange student.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm a native of the Greater Salt Lake City area and I am familiar with the some of the local highlights, which might be a little off the beaten path. Utah has a pretty rich and interesting history and I like to convey that to my guests in an interesting way.
