I picked up my first instrument at age 30 and became an on-the-road professional musician by age 32. I traveled and lived for four years in a Dodge/Mercedes Sprinter van that I converted to a small house on wheels.... That's a few things. There are more.

All of my interests involve learning. I am not an expert in any of those areas. I love learning and exploring. Because I have learned, I can also share and teach. I like to think of it more as sharing than teaching. Sharing is a two way stream of conversation and exploration of ideas.

I can certainly share laughter. Sharing joy... what else is there?

Irish music.... folk music.... tiny houses... efficient spaces... energy use... alternative building processes and materials.... singing.... travels.... accepting and learning from people.... growth.... sewing (everything from clothes and crafts to pop-up trailers and canvas pavilions).
