I am a swiss army knife. My strength is in tackling a broad variety of challenges. I am an inventor and programmer at heart, and those affinities have resulted in an engineering career. Recently, I have had the chance to step back and re-arrange my life to be more consistent with my values. Faith, Family, Freedom, Service, Education. When I look at those priorities, I realize pretty quickly that jobs and housing need to revolve around them, and not the other way around. Now I am experimenting, trying to find practical ways to live consistently - and this site is one of many possibilities.
