Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: dead poets society, tommy boy, princess bride, micmacs, moonrise kingdom

Music: I'm running low on new stuff

Books: Adventure and mysteryish books are the best, anything that tells an engaging story really. I've been reading a lot of Bill Bryson and Aldo Leopold lately. But I always have trouble finding new stuff so if you have any suggestions I would love to hear them.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've raised a stingray named Sophie and regularly babysat a joey named Booga. I recently kissed the blarney stone and dangled my feet over the cliffs of moher, that shit was terrifying.

Teach, Learn, Share

Ask me about pioneering, blacksmithing, and broom making in the mid 19th century in Iowa and I'll be able to tell you more than you ever wanted or cared to know.
