I was born and raised in the rolling hills of Upstate New York -- right in between the Catskill Mountains and Albany.
I work as a professional circus performer, roustabout, and go-getter for the Bindlestiff Family Cirkus -- a rockstar troupe of vaudevillians from Brooklyn, NY who took me under their wing and changed my life while sneaking me into bars and teaching me the ways of a carny on the road.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The world is waiting, it's time to see it.
(although there is one city in particular...)

Interests

Unicycles, tight wire walking, circus history and circus now! Walking in the hills, playing my banjo, and wishing I could sing. Teaching circus skills to kids in the mountains of Vermont, learning people better, stretching, and building things with Legos.
Also, dogs.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

It's still in the works

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you to unicycle, knit, or play you Modest Mouse songs on a banjo. Mostly I will ask a lot of questions and write down some of the things you say.
