About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To use my voice and my life an instrument of peace.

ABOUT ME

Friendly, funny, resourceful, knowledgeable. I seem normal enough, but the more you get to know me the more interesting I become. My life is full of all sorts of things I would never believe if I hadn't lived them. Because of this I am probably the most optimistic cynic you will ever meet.

I am an international award-winning solo vocal act (i.e. portable entertainment) among other things.

PHILOSOPHY

As long as you're alive, there's still time to make new choices. With evolution as a goal there are only right answers, even though the possibilities of this very moment will never come again.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have been couchsurfing for more than 3-years straight now, and evangelize this community everywhere I go.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

As a traveling musician, I have slept on some great couches and some crappy couches (yes, literally). I love it because it's always a surprise, always educational, and usually results in great new friends.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once beatboxed for 5 former US Secretaries of State at once (among other powerful/despised men), spitting on General Colin Powell in the process. Luckily, he liked me and didn't seem to mind.
