I'm a designer for a console furniture manufacturer so working with CAD, Inventor etc. This is okay to pay the bills but I love to write stories and poems. I have 2 children's stories published and I'm working on a several other stories. We discovered kayaking last summer and fell in love with it. There are so many places to explore in and near the mountains where we live we have to juggle our time between that biking and my other passion of gardening. I collect seeds from pretty much everything I can and experiment in our challenging climate.Ive had a life long romance with learning French
