About me

Gender Male
Industry Arts
Location Rockledge, Florida, United States
Introduction I’ve lived a varied life, reared in the Midwest, transplanted first in NYC and then Europe for the better part of my adult life, and I now live in semi-retirement in central Florida. I have been a store clerk, groundskeeper, social worker, grants writer, social service administrator, actor, director, set designer, carpenter/cabinetmaker and sculptor. I’ve never really known what I wanted to be when I grew up, so I have tried as many things as I could fit into my time and still incorporate craftsmanship into my endeavors. I come from 3 generations of herb specialists - growing, cooking and herbology.
Interests The Arts, craftsmanship, books, music, fun and laughter, working with my hands, woodworking
