I have been studying metalsmithing for 5 years and have a small side business creating jewelry for clients from across the country. I spend most of my free time at my bench or in the garden. I have a Shar Pei named Raku who cracks me up daily. To have health insurance I work 40 hours a week as a property searcher for a local Abstract & Title Company. I enjoy the job mostly because I work away from a desk most of the time. One day I hope to settle down and expand my art to a full time thing. I listen to Pat Metheny, Keb Mo, Bruce Hornsby (Big Swing Face is the best album EVER!), Ani Difranco and too many others to name here. I love a live show any time any place!

So, here is the deal... I am not a fan of hunting (although I have been known to fish once in a while). Oh and: I prefer a man to have his shirt on in his profile picture and no dead animals need to be in that pic either...thanks~ LOL.

I am rather busy this time of year so if I do not get back to you right away please give me a little time.

Good luck to all and if what I have written has not made you run for cover send me a note!

First dates can be tricky~ I prefer a low key, down to earth meeting maybe over coffee then a stroll. Sounds kind of bland I know but the truth is if you can't talk then why bother right?
