About me

Gender Male
Occupation Bureaucrat
Location Portland, Oregon, United States
Introduction I'm a lifelong Oregonian. I've had the privilege to live on both sides of the Cascade Mountains and experience the best of all of Oregon. I like to know the how and why of things and enjoy learning how to do those things from the ground up. Using many wonderful local ingredients is just a bonus. I'm an unabashed American. Born and raised in Oregon, I'm retired at 56 and want to travel Route 66 and see and experience all of the lower 48 states. Rubbernecking, eating local, smelling and tasting what each stop has to offer
