About Me

CURRENT MISSION

find questions. I've moved out of connellsville BTW.

ABOUT ME

I am a licensed pyrotechnician, I have been a photographer for the national goat association and several weddings, I make ice-cream on the back of my bicycle while riding it around town, I brew beer, I make bread, I make yogurt, I play some guitar, I like working on/rebuilding antique motorcycles (specifically Triumphs), I am a physicist, I am a Computer Scientist, I cook good vegetarian cuisine (so i am told), I volunteer with the SCA (not work... just volunteer), I do whatever I can to help people out. Since traveling through Ireland I have become an ordained minister (not gonna tell you my religion though). Currently running a special on weddings. they are free, best time being the weekend. the catch is you pay to get you here or me there.

PHILOSOPHY

My personal philosophy is to live in the moment as much as possible. that's where philosophy is, not in books. books are a philosophers museum.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: Amalie, The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, Wes Anderson films, Cohen Brothers films, P.T. Anderson films, etc.

Music: Literally anything that is creative.

Books: I like many books, about many subjects... I too often find myself in the middle of several books at once... maybe one day I'll write one.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Being alive... if you think about it, there's not much more amazing than existence.

Teach, Learn, Share

He who only has himself as a teacher has a fool for a master.

I would love to teach about brewing, it benefits knowledge to teach as well as practice!
