About Me

I have an MA in Irish Studies, a cool fella, a great family and lots of wonderful friends, a volunteer job with the Potomac Celtic Festival, a paying job, some pets, some instruments, and way too much to blather on about. Mostly, I make things, write things, sing things, say things, dance on things, and play things.
