| Introduction | I have been around forests and fields, and using various tools since I was six yrs.old. I had woodshop class in grade school, and always made things at home. After college I began as a carpenter, then interior finishing, then boatbuilding, and furniture making; in the Seattle area. I have worked in Japan since 1995, and have run my own custom furniture business, while occassionally working with craftsmen here. |
| Interests | I gain great inspiration from and have always loved spending time in nature, and using natural mediums. I love camping and foraging; Indian sweat lodges; archery; canoeing; forest work; writing and reading; and travel, when I can. |
