I've been a carpenter for the last six years, but have enjoyed working creatively with others for much longer. I have operated a bike taxi, worked as a writing tutor, and currently write for several construction oriented publications in addition to my day job building and renovating houses. In my free time I enjoy playing my guitar, sailing, kayaking, hiking, biking, dancing, drawing, reading, camping, taking pictures, leather-working, board games, and cooking for friends. I have lived in the Hudson Valley, an island in Maine, and in Madison, Wisconsin while also spending winters in both Key West, FL and in the Pacific Northwest. I love to travel and spend time with my friends. Life keeps me very busy, and I'm always looking forward to another adventure, whether at work, in the shop, or out in the world.
