Father, blacksmith, philosopher, neuroscientist, heritage site manager. Talk about a weird trip, and it’s just getting started.

I love growing things, cooking things, meeting people, making messes, exploring and learning pretty much whatever I can. Thanks to my career in museums, I can discuss classical Chinese architecture, blood spatter pattern analysis and show you how to turn wheat in the field into bread on your table. My current personal/professional project is to spend the next two years making a cheeseburger from scratch. (Two years, three cows and $8000 later... it had better taste good!)
