About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I would love to be able to support myself fully as a performing percussionist. I'd also like to tour as much as possible and meet great new folks!

ABOUT ME

I'm a fun and easy going guy who loves to discover new international music. I also have a passion for creating unique percussion parts with singer/songwriters.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I try to attend the weekly Cincinnati Potlucks as much as possible. I am hoping to surf a couch for the first time soon in Europe.

Interests

I spend most of my free time playing drums/percussion. I also spend a lot of free time booking gigs and seeking out new hip music.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've walked on 2 week old lava on the Big Island in Hawaii. 1 month later someone fell through and tourists were not allowed within 1/2 mile of the place we were standing.

I also saw a Druid ceremony on the Summer Solstice at Stonehenge. Discovery Channel was there filming a documentary of the ceremony.
