About Me

I'm a dad, it's a bit of a new thing for me but I'm pretty stoked about it. Alice, my daughter, she's pretty dang cool. My wife isn't to shabby either.I am just loaded with hobbies. I love bikes, I ride them, fix them, build them, buy them and sell them. My favorite part of a bike are the wheels. I'm an odd breed of individual who likes tuning the spoke tension in wheels. I also consider beer as a hobby. I like to drink it sure, but I also enjoy making it. I am particularly fond of lagered beers. The German's know how to lager a beer thats for sure. I enjoy solving problems. Mostly mechanical and electrical problems which require mathematical application but I also enjoy the occasional social dynamic problem. One of the best things about solving problems is the learning of new knowledge and skills associated with the problem solving process. Fixing bikes also fits in the problem solving category. I enjoy researching and finding good music.

Cycling, Brewing Beer, building and fixing things, Electricity and Magnetism, and music, backpacking, Alice Mary Heckman (my daughter).
