I grew up here, I left here, but I came back. I love this area, and have a lot of family history here. I enjoy all things practical. I knit poorly, sew like an idiot, cook like a fiend, and build for the ages. I am not a fan of cheaping out when it comes to the important things.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've been riding my wife's coattails here for a while, and am breaking out on my own.

Music, Movies, and Books

Too much music to sort. High Fidelity. I mostly read non fiction, technical books.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've been thirty feet up in a maple tree as the sun rose.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am quite particular about pancakes. If you are too, we may butt heads. If you're not, I'll gladly make you some! (If you are particular, I'll make you some as well, as long as you're OK with a spirited disagreement.)

Countries I’ve Lived In
