About Me: Jesus has rescued my heart from a path that was less than the best. I am forever grateful to Him. My wife and I enjoy the outdoors. I have dabbled in a lot of "expensive sports" like snowbarding, rockclimbing, scuba diving, whitewater paddling, etc., but find that I get the most enjoyment from less expensive things like trail running with Betsy and our dog Trail. I want to see an age of manhood re-instilled in the Western culture. I want to always give away what I learn. I want to be a citizen-farmer like Jefferson had in mind. I want to make as many of my necessities as I can (bread, cheese, garden vegitables, clothes, home, furniture, barn, etc.).
