CURRENT MISSION

To destroy all bunnies.

ABOUT ME

Eh, I hate writing things about myself, thus I'll refer to myself in the third person. No, that would be strange. Ok, I'm a student and I'm trying to get into furniture design. I spend most of the day drafting designs and executing them. I do woodworking and metal working, screen printing and painting. I am a workaholic. I have an over grown garden and a melange of flowers. A porch swing to die for and a land lord from Ethiopia. I enjoy a good cup of tea and a clean sink. I find solace in blue toilet water and like the smell of saw dust. When I wax the floors, I like to put on thick socks and judge my work by the slipperiness of the newly waxed floors. My fingernails always have dirt underneath them. I like curry in all forms. I am a habitual garage sale goer. I write short stories that I'm too afraid to send into publishers. I was a chemist. I have no interest in pursuing a career in chemistry. Well, I have nothing more to add. Oh, I have an obsession with old furniture. Hence, my current obsession with making furniture.

PHILOSOPHY

Always wear socks in winter.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Oh, Machu Picchu was a fog-covered sight. Especially after a four day hike through the mountains. I cooked potatoes in natural hot springs in the Himalayas and saw the salt flats of Bolivia. I've had way too much to drink in the Englischer Garten in Munich and got lost and found in Prague. I've been to Brazil's rain forest and chased by mosquitoes the size of my big toe. I hope to see the coral reef of Australia one day. I ache to see Turkey and Russia.

Teach, Learn, Share

Hmmm...I'll get back to you. I make a mean pizza. I can show you how to do that.
