My Interests

Riding motorcycles, rockets for now but thinking about a possible dual-sport in the future.Figuring out new ways to make money.Architecture - Modern/post modern/Prarie - Frank Lloyd Wright, Mies Van der Rohe.Building/Repairing - I love the sense of personal accomplishment that comes from figuring things out and coming up with my own solution. I always prefer doing something myself than paying someone else to do it. Recently purchasing a house has made it a necessity now!Reading - whether as a means of learning or just for fun. Everything from F. Scott Fitzgerald to Hunter S.
