For nearly two decades, I've been a brick & stone mason, as well as a lifelong sketchbook/journal keeping enthusiast. When I'm not constructing residential dwellings you'll likely find me in front of my home workbench restoring ugly, unloved found furniture while gyrating to vintage vinyl on my record player. My other interests include surrealist art, Dylan Thomas poetry, castle architecture, playing pond hockey, film studies, hunting for thrift store treasures, Old Norse heritage, hiking to lofty elevations to soak in the sunrise, world history, engineering trivia, trying new foods & travel.
