About

 

This website is my attempt to show the work I do and sell the product of the crafts I enjoy. My hope is that you will be glad of having wandered here and leave having found something helpful, enlightening, inspiring, or just plain cool.

I don’t consider myself a thrill seeker, but thrills seem to find me. Adventure is what you get when a venture goes haywire and I seem to have the knack for both.

 

I am a Christian and this is the framework for all my life and interests. I am a generalist, some have called me a renascence man, but that implies a level of expertise in multiple disciplines, whereas I am just generally competent, so I will stick with generalist. I will list some of the titles I feel I can lay claim to here.

  • Christian (I am joined with the one true Christ and trust to Him for rebirth into His Kingdom, believing the Bible to be God’s true revelation to man.)

  • Husband

  • Father of 3

I’m sure there are others, but those are enough for now.

To summarize, my passions are learning, adding value to the world through making good things, and having meaningful conversations about truth and possibilities with those around me.
