I consider myself a jack of all trades and a master of none. I am an educator, a gardener, a beekeeper, an amateur photographer, a leather crafter, a recyling artist, and an environmentalist. Life is too short not to try everything!

I am an award-winning writer & educator, a humanitarian, a guitar-builder, a hiking enthusiast and backpacker. I also enjoy languages and reading. I am currently slowly working my way through the 46 High Peaks of the Adirondacks.
