Music, Movies, and Books

BOOKS! Mark Twain, Flannery O'Connor, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Rumi, Nabokov, TOM ROBBINS, Jack Kerouac and Wendell Berry are among my favorite writers. Mary Oliver, too.
MUSIC! music is my way of reconnecting with myself. I play lots of bluesy acoustic guitar and a little piano

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I traveled alone in Central America for a few weeks in my early twenties, and i fell in love with solo road time. Now i take every opportunity i can!
I've stood on top of some pretty amazing mountains, hitched in the back of some trucks i probably shouldn't have, and camped lots of places a fella's not supposed to camp.

Teach, Learn, Share

brewing beer, building things and late night conversations are what i'm good at. I want to hear you stories, we all have so much to learn from one another!
I'm also a general contractor, so i'm happy to help out at your place
