- I’m deeply passionate about design, about improving myself, life, and relationships.
- I design to make the world a better place, not just a wealthier place, and desire to be involved with artifacts that matter, make a difference, sustain the earth/people, and that are beautiful to experience.
- I offer a unique perspective of form and functionality, a diverse educational and experiential background, along with a strong, creative work ethic.
- My work is clean, orderly, and I bring a pleasant, fun attitude with the ability to be serious when necessary (…I have kids: )
- I present quality, thorough work.
- To sharpen my saw I enjoy hiking, visionary art, phat beats, nice weather, stormy weather, lush terrain, mountains, oceans, great friends, a good beer, and camping.
- I practice yoga, martial arts, meditation, and conscious living.
- I design my life…
