CURRENT MISSION

To make music, friends, and learn some cool things along the way.

ABOUT ME

I used currently run a music technology company called BeatBat Music, we book lives show for multiple venues in Seattle. I'm also a freelance writer, contributing to Earshot Jazz, Seattle Weekly, and Seattle Times.

PHILOSOPHY

I think everyone has an interesting story to tell and that people are inherently good. I love couchsurfing because it allows me to connect with people and communities in meaningful ways.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've been on CS for a while and have hosted in the past. I currently have a tiny studio (too small to host) but would be more than happy to host in the future, and am looking to get more involved in the CS community.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've hosted multiple guests in the pasts, and actually met a previous girlfriend on CS (we're still great friends), though I'm not here to find love interests.

I appreciate all kinds of arts and occupations, and always aim to meet people where they are.

Discovered happiness in humility.

Can help with web design, programming help, help around the house, can give you a voice lesson (or receive one!), and can make some songs with you (also play piano and guitar)
