ABOUT ME

visited 23 states (46%)Create your own visited map of The United States or another interesting project

I am a sculptor and a craftsman. Laughter is an essential part of my day. I love to cook. I love animals and have a fondness for wilderness. Backpacking and hiking are on the A-list. There is very little that will keep me from hitting a trail or the road. I love playing drums and creating sounds with electro-goodies. Walker. Traveler...
