I like to travel, and to be outdoors, my friends and i are always on little missions and adventures even when we are at home. i love the music of the Grateful Dead and have been fortunate enough to complete their 2009 spring tour, first show to last. i enjoy attending music and arts festivals. i like to ski, kayak, hike, mountain and road bike, camp, skateboard, tube, swim, surf, and fish. i enjoy spending time with my family and friends. i am a welder and really enjoy tig welding all sorts of art projects and practical use things too! i love animals, i grew up with goats, chickens, turkeys, oxen, and dogs.
