About Me

i grew up in a small town in ma untill i moved to ct in third grade. i stayed in the same house through high school. after school i tried the whole college thing untill i ran out of classes i wanted to take and they told me i had to start taking required classes. wtf! i spent the next few years bouncing around ct until i settled in the nw corner of the state on a beautiful river called the housatonic and started my carreer as a farrier. i worked as a farrier's apprentice/helper for over five years there.after having spent most of my life all over new england and feeling the urge to try something new, i made the move to sc. admitedly i followed the water to the green river in nc. when i got here i was pleased to find one of the best ww kayaking scenes in the country and on top of that there has been an abundance of oppurtounities to further my career.when i'm not working or paddling i'm at home with two awesome roomates reading or just hanging out on the lake. i try to get to as many live shows as possible when they come around. i also spend some time bouldering trying to keep in shape for my winter hobby as an alpinist. i'm missing winter in the south but hey you win some you lose some.just trying continue living my life and staying happy and content.

My Interests

as some one who appreciates what i do i take my work very seriously and use evryday and every horse to learn from. however when not under a horse or at the forge, i spend most of my time paddling on the narrows of the green. i also have been building up a new bike and continue to climb when it's cool enough.

I'd like to meet:

happy people with a passion for life.

Music:

anything goes. my ipod includes anything from bach and handel, to flying frog brigade, the dead, ymsb, j5, and of course anything VI.

Television:

Books:
