I am a loving husband and father living this life as simply as possible. I am a bit of an "against the grain" type person, always on the look out for an alternative and chasing my dreams along the way. I have experience in construction and restoration and love to use my hands to create everything from works of art to tools and homes. This has led me to pursue the art of the handyman. I enjoy a challenge and am always pushing myself to try something new. Some may say I am a "Jack of all trades" and I like it that way. I love music and play a mean guitar and am always looking for new artists and musicians to listen to and enjoy. I want to inspire everyone around me by being supportive and encouraging and accepting all who I meet. I live to love and I love my life. My family is my focus and I work hard to be the best husband and parent I can be. I have come to a point in my life where I realize that I am happiest when I am doing what I want and love and use my "alternative attitude" to fuel my passion for the pursuit of true happiness. Life is to short to not chase your dreams.
