CURRENT MISSION

Tour Manager for various theatre and music shows. On the road for some months out of the year, and home making music the rest of the time.

ABOUT ME

I love people! Or at the very least I hope for the best in them. Meeting and conversing with new people is usually one of my favorite activities. I am open to most things these days. Let's swap stories from the void! I am a travel addict who loves good music, good food, good conversation, and pretty much everyplace I visit. Born in GA. Raised in NC. School in MI. Back in NC since the pandemic. Trying to not leave for a while.

All this being said though...
!!!!!!!!!! I DO NOT TAKE SURFERS WITHOUT REFERENCES!!!!!!!!!!!!

PHILOSOPHY

All you've got is your body and time. No one has any idea what we are or why we're here. Bring your energy to the table, don't wait for others to bring theirs.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I travelled across America, and made it thanks to craigslist rideshare and couchsurfing. NY to LA and back again!

Teach, Learn, Share

I am an amateur mead brewer. Mead is the oldest known fermented beverage, made from fermented honey. I also spin fire sometimes, though I don't currently have my toys with me.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am also a student of the stick and poke school of tattoo art. If you want some ink, I can maybe make that happen.
