CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I like to work with my hands. I don't like to take the easy route, unless it happens to be the best route. I think money is a tool to get what you want, and should never be coveted as a possession. I believe people should be self-sustainable and live a life of balance, and contemporary lifestyles have made this difficult. I feel I can openly discuss any topic. It is important for me to be constantly developing new skills, and working on current ones. I love to brew beer, talk about and taste beer, and have been known to go on and on about these things. Art is a way of life, but don't take it too seriously.

PHILOSOPHY

There is a great difference between an existence led through passive consumerism, and a being driven to find and question the roots of that construction.
