Hard working construction manager and avid home cook. I enjoy sewing, farming, food, and drink. At heart, I’m a Waldorf kid and cowboy, so working with my hands and being out in the elements is what I strive for.

If I’m not bumbling around a construction site, then I’m probably dancing in my kitchen or staring into a bonfire. One of my greatest pleasures in life is meeting new people and hearing their stories. I’m a relentless extrovert that’ll never tire in good company, so just tell me to take a walk if you’re in need of some quiet time.

One of the few things I’m NOT particularly interested in is discussing politics. I value hearing about people’s individual and local perspectives of daily life vs the echo of a news broadcast.
