ABOUT ME

I'm a music director, pianist, singer, and arranger, working (mostly) in musical theater. I love to ride my bike. I'm a liberal and a reform Jew. My favorite season is fall, but I love the smell of the first day of spring. I like to watch and talk about movies. I like to be a helping hand. I like breakfast food. I like whiskey and hard cider. I'm mildly addicted to my iPhone. I'm 5'7" and my wife thinks I'm cute, so who am I to argue?

PHILOSOPHY

Be yourself, keep an open mind, work hard, and stay positive. Play fair, play smart, and don't turn down a promising opportunity; good things will come your way.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Ever since marrying and moving to Brooklyn, I haven't used Couchsurfing much, but I hosted when I lived in CT and had two great road trips, surfing across the country when my wife was finishing up grad school.
