About Me

I am an explorer by nature and an artsy craftsman but I also love to dress up and go out. I guess I'm kind of a Chameleon. If you see me riding my bicycle you might think I'm a hipster on a fixed gear but I'm not and its not. It has gears; it just looks cool, ok!

My Interests

Riding my bike, solo guitar, architecture, building things, building musical instruments, admiring what the old masters have built. Having picnics in the redwoods with plenty of wine, nature, travel, having gelato in Rome while watching Italian women walking on cobblestones with their high heel boots. Listening to these woman playing their hammer dulcimers behind the Barcelona Cathedral. Especially how it echos down those narrow medieval streets. Riding bikes in Holland! Especially when its those cool black old fashioned european style granny bikes! I would say riding a Vespa around Rome but I was so jet-lagged and I chickened out. Next time for sure!
