I work as a small engine mechanic in Northern California, which to me is the perfect outlet for my love of solving puzzles. I enjoy classical music and gourmet cooking as well as what many would describe as "dying arts". I appreciate things like fine art and classic literature, and I believe that society has lost much of the cultural refinement of previous generations. It is therefore my goal to preserve the traditions of ages now past. I also enjoy learning about people and different cultures and attempting to understand their differences and similarities.
