I'm originally from Connecticut, lived in Key West Florida for a couple years, then moved to Washington and enrolled at Eastern Washington University nothing sparked much interest in me but art, particularly sculpture... Not wanting to teach and a career in art not seeming like any path to becoming financially secure I found Orthotic & Prosthetic fabrication to be the next best thing, went to school for it and currently work in the field, it involves using plaster molds that duplicate patients residual or muscle deficient limbs, vacuum forming plastics or laminating carbon fiber materials over them, bending and attaching metal uprights, ankle and knee joints, setup systems, working with foams, leather, rivets and crepe materials. It's creative, keeps me learning and then there's the rewarding part, Helping people gain/regain their independence.

I'm optimistic about life, polite, intelligent, cultured, moral and intricate. I'm dedicated to my career and honest, It makes me feel guilty if I lie, so i don't. I don't use drugs but I did experiment when I was younger... I like to have drinks on the weekend but I know when I've had enough... I'm creative, I've used stone, clay and mixed media to sculpt and I'm good with interior design. I may have a hard time not standing my ground at least momentarily if someone picks a fight with me but it always comes down to those words "walk away then" and that's exactly what I do=) I'm confident and comfortable in most situations, but I prefer not to dress up if possible.

I love music and I feel it more than listen to it... Jam bands, Reggae, Rock, Funk/rock fusion, Dubstep, Alternative, Punk rock, Good hip hop and metal groups but I'm picky... Sublime, NIN, beastie boys, rage against the machine, dispatch, pixies, jane's addiction... I like going to local shows, some local favorites include 20 riverside, flowmotion, kore ionz, handful of lovin, panda conspiracy, big high, yogoman burning band.
