Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
I aim to learn and find inspiration from the warm and kind human beings around this planet. The friendships, acts of kindness, and laughter of the universe all feed my undying passion to write and create music, and then change the world.
ABOUT ME
I am a 28 year old single male with a wealth of experience. I attended college as a Musical Theater major and gained the passion for the performing arts. I was married the last seven years of my life and I am just starting the process of chasing the dreams that I once had as a young man. With 7 years of marriage came 7 years of unadulterated domestication. I have owned a successful residential remodeling business, planted many gardens, watched hours and hours of the food network, and raised two beautiful dogs. If it is in a residential home...I can fix/replace/or remodel it. From plumbing, electrical, carpentry, landscaping, it just doesn't scare me. Also, I love learning how to do things I have never done before with a cautious calculated approach; "measure twice cut once". A safe welcoming environment is of my utmost priority. The inspiration and energy that is driving me has opened my eyes to an idealistic world of altruism. or simply put: people taking care of people. I have all of these skills that I know somebody out there can be bettered from. And of course I in turn can't wait to learn and better myself from said somebody. My progressive mindset allows me to not judge my fellow human. I feel like if a person is moved and inspired by whatever is making them smile, as long as they are not hurting anyone or being destructive, I say "do whatcha like" My goal is to create, inspire, and give back to the earth every chance I get. My skill sets just start at being a handyman. With any luck Ill be able to create music and perform in the coming years of my life. I have an undying affection for animals. I've taken care of dogs, cats, fish, reptiles and even a sugar glider. Hell, I've even spent a few summers on a dude ranch riding, and taking care of horses. I like to have stimulating conversations over a glass of wine. But, I think my nights of doing shots of tequila are slim to none these days. I am not picky, I don't like to complain or gossip. I know that anything that manifests from this post will be met with a gracious heart and a humble appreciation for the time you spent to contact me. My mind is free and my hands are able.
If any or all of these words move you to contact me and get to know me a bit better, please do. Like my Swedish friends say "Take a Chance on Me"
PHILOSOPHY
People are the only thing I believe in. Everything else is met with an open mind and without subscription. We have the capacity to make or break this world. I am one of the lucky ones because I know what I am supposed to do on this planet: To create, inspire, learn and strengthen the humanity that binds all of us together.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I found the courage to chase my dreams.
Teach, Learn, Share
Finish each day and be done with it. Some absurdities and blunders have crept in; forget them as soon as you can. For tomorrow is a new day, and you will begin in serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered by your old nonsense. -Emerson
