CURRENT MISSION transitioning from city mouse to country mouse... ABOUT ME I'm a pretty quiet person, but I really love new experiences. I love being around other people, but often retreat into my own head. I'm trying really hard to get over myself and not be too self-conscious. I think I'm making some progress. I am a letterpress printer. I love to print. I just moved to a biodynamic winery where I'm learning all about tending the vineyards and garden. I am thrilled to be here. PHILOSOPHY I believe in making things. I think it is the single greatest thing we can do for ourselves and for one another. It is a means of communication, a sharing of ideas, a way of connecting with the world around us.
