CURRENT MISSION

Learning to live/love the Good Life.

ABOUT ME

Victoria born and raised!
I am a 24year old, gay, historian farm boy! I am interested in growing food and preserving it. I love working towards better self-sufficiency and sustainability. I also love history, particularly agricultural history, stories, and learning how things used to be done by our elders. I have a 1924 wind-up gramophone that still sings beautifully.
I live with my partner of 2 1/2 years in the main-level suite of a character home built in 1883. Hardwood floors, wood-burning stove, and claw foot bathtub. We live in a funkier, community-oriented part of Victoria, yet are only a few blocks away from the main strip.

音乐、电影和书籍

Music: classical (love Wagner!), big band jazz (Glenn Miller, Vera Lynn, and all the war time classics), and a new love of Alan Jackson.
