I'm the father of one college age son who recently graduated with a degree in economics from UC Santa Barbara. I'm an avid cook, happy gardener, inveterate tinkerer, and an incessantly curious person. I like to find out what makes things and people tick. I've been happily self-employed since 1985 and switched careers in 2003 to run an online business which is generally a blast. I do allow smokers but you must smoke outside. You can contact me directly via cell, text, or WhatsApp.
