CURRENT MISSION

I want to hear your story, and live mine.

ABOUT ME

I was the wee boy always disappearing into the woods on some ill-fate journey or mad-scientist tinkering in the basement. Probably gave my poor mother more than a few near-heart attacks when I either returned late, covered in mud and soaked to the bone from trying to wade as far as possible up that new stream or explore that old barn discovered, or when the neighbors would call saying they thought they heard an explosion coming from our house.

I love classic motorcycles, vans with character, musical instruments, and tools. If you are breaking down, I've got plenty of tools for you to use and I'm pretty good at supportively scratching my head at whatever mechanical puzzle ales your adventure-mobile.

PHILOSOPHY

Be present. Enjoy.
