Life is too short to be unhappy!

About Me

I am a stay-at-home Dad and mosaic artist from Southern California (somewhere between LA and Palm Springs). When I am not hanging out with my 3yr. old son and reliving my childhood all over again, I make mosaics. I have the best of both worlds......I love spending so much time with my son....(and a daughter about to arrive any day) and I get to do what I love, make mosaics. I have always been interested in art, but it was not until I made my first mosaic as a gift for my wife Nicole that I became hooked. If you'd like to see more mosaics you can also visit my website: at briansmosaicworks.com

My Interests

So many things revolve around the kid......my particular favorites are: fort building, hide and seek, wrestling, building lego houses for stuffed animals, looking for bugs in the yard and swimming.As for me personally, I love to cook and make most of the meals. I love a good red wine.....that goes great with the dinner that everyone is eating. I art.....to look at and create. Being active is a big part of my life also.....cycling (both road and mountain), hiking, and nearly anything else that makes me break a sweat. Relaxing with a good book, long conversations and sharing knowledge,(often accompanied with wine) hanging out with friends, gardening, and hunting down and exploring anything in life that interests me. Life is so short......and I hate using the words: would of, could of, should of!!!!!

I'd like to meet:
