About Me

Myspace Layouts at Pimp-My-Profile.com / Male&female

I used to live in a small, funky cabin in the woods on an 80 acre ranch. The great thing about it was the backyard, several square miles of national forest. I could pretty much start walking into the hills and go as far as I could stand to. Now, I'm enjoying the many benefits of city life in Denver. I live with a dog, a black cocker spanial named Nacho, and two cool people, Michael and Nanako.

To support my living habit, I cook at an upscale Scottish pub and own a wooden toy manufacturing business, I am working on getting a board game that I designed published, but that's not easy. In the past I have made and sold juggling sticks, helped manage a retail website, done some carpentry, and worked as a cook at a catering company, a bed and breakfast, a coffee shop, and a casual upscale restaurant.
I've lived in SW Colorado most of my life but, I traveled for several years, lived in Denver for several years, and lived in Eugene Oregon for a year. Recently, I have been considering moving to Mexico near Cuernavaca or Europe (Prague specifically) for awhile but Colorado will always be my home.
