About Me

Blacksmith currently lives two lives. In one, he embraces and enjoys the newfound realm of husbandhood and fatherhood. His other life consists of the never-ending search for "that" bend. For "that" succession of chords. For "that" particular brush of fingertips across metal strings that sounds less like a man trying to document his life and more like a soul bringing to itself comfort, peace and rest.
