Introduction I was born in Germany and grew up in the U.S. (Wisconsin), and now reside in New Mexico. The central theme of my life has been about pulling myself up out the giant rut I dug for myself and following the path of my dreams. It's been a struggle every step of the way, but I'm getting there! I spent most of my years working in restaurants and retail, and was an art gallery director for nine years. In recent years I decided that my purpose is to discover the "magic" and wonder that surrounds us and share it with others. I used to think that was corny, but I've been experiencing it more and more. Lately my motto has been "treasure is everywhere."
Interests Game development, writing, music (guitar, singing, songwriting), hiking, paper sculpting, reading, movies, travel.
Favorite Movies Casablanca, The Lord of the Rings, Treasure of the Sierra Madre.
Favorite Music Alternative, progressive, and folk rock. Blues and funk. Classical music of any kind. "Ethnic" folk music.
Favorite Books The Lord of the Rings, Tess of the d'Urbervilles, The Brothers Karamazov, Les Miserables, Slaughterhouse Five, The Harry Potter series (yeah, I got hooked into it almost against my will, then couldn't stop reading it...)
