ABOUT ME

Sometimes my ambitions exceed current abilities, I have a weakness for trendy coffee houses, if only there was a vague possibility to quite my job to focus more on all these darn hobbies...

PHILOSOPHY

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Ask me!

Teach, Learn, Share

Everyone roaming the earth has at the very least, one useful thing to share and broaden your scope of understanding... I wish to learn, mostly anything, anyone is willing to purposefully demonstrate or explain.If we happen to cross paths, why don't you help me brew a patch of wine or beer, make a jewlery box from exotic wood, create a painting or sculpture, fix a computer, plant a tree, practice tai chi, or play a ukulele.
