IN A NUTSHELL

A few years ago, if I were to be tongue in cheek, I'd say:
A Sonoma County native, I left the beauty of this glorious homeland to seek bountiful treasure, the golden fleece and the ever elusive sense of self. Fueled by caffeine and driven by a deep desire to "just barely succeed," I did exactly that and more. People talk of raising the bar, but I find that the higher the bar, the easier it it is to scrape under. After a 10 year odyssey that included stints in Marin County, the East Bay and San Francisco, I returned to Sonoma County. Coffee abounds and this makes my world run a little smoother. 

And if I were to actually try to describe myself now...
Dad, Maker, Computer Geek,

I suppose the CV should include:
I raced my bike
I went to art school
I work in bike shops
I worked in the movie biz
-And now-

I get to design and make things for people

A few favorite things:
Overcoming inertia
The joy of discovery
