About Me
At 16 my first real career outing was "Sword Maker". Like days long past I didn't earn much cash money but gained the most incredible life experiences. I absorbed college tech books from the U of O at night while learning how to properly apply it during the day from a true master craftsman. I exchanged my labors for a home, a craft and a profound awareness of what is important to me. After 8 years study I received my master level and I years after inherited the sword shop.
My career choices since those days have been diverse and deliberate. Presently at 50+ I follow my creative interests and give my knowledge and skills without reserve to those that "truly" need it and want it.
In my companies I endeavor to instill community, shared knowledge and I encourage continuous personal growth. I found that the uplifting emotional engagement with your creations for the benefit of others yields 2X the personal benefit for most humans. Honest and positive reinforcement given and personal responsibility taken. This is what I found fulfills my life. Helping others to make fascinating and new things is what I choose to do.
