I feel like I'm continuously getting to know myself as time moves
on and new experiences come my way .. good news is so far I seem
pretty awesome, WINKING SMILEY FACE. I grew up in the woods in a
very "free" some might say "feral" environment. Did not really get
the hang of clothes until age 4 or so when kindergarten mandated it
.. I suppose they couldn't stand that sort of unbridled
independence. Child of hippie "back to the lander" parents who
moved from the east coast and escaped to the redwoods of Cazadero
CA (Look it up!). This coastal hybridization caused me to inherit
some of the inevitable sarcasm and dry humor of my father's Bronx
neighborhood but also remain laid back and grounded in my
California ways.
I stay physical, always juggling activities. Lately it has been martial arts, climbing, and swimming for the most part but I love most outdoor sports.
Above all else I am a musician .. I've been writing songs since I was a sophomore in high school and just recently started writing for other vocalists which is a hell of a lot more fun than I ever expected it to be. I have been planting seeds in the local music scene for the last 13 years or so and things are starting to take shape.
I currently work as a solar field applications engineer designing solar equipment. With the job comes lots of travel which can sometimes be a pain but I'm clocking some substantial miles which I will soon be using to travel to Europe .. booyahkasha!
Other business fun that keeps me busy includes a recent investment into my friend's beverage company start up and my attempt at launching a hoodie/tshirt clothing line which I just received my TM for . . giggity!
As for me .. lately my mantra has been "take the path which requires the greatest strength". Now I don't mean that in the way you might think as being inked into the chest of a 300 lb. juice machine, but rather in the way that "doing the right thing" can be an extremely difficult task and I am striving to be the best version of myself I can. I am huge on mutual respect and honesty, I try to find the humor in just about everything and yes I am quoting the movie Gladiator when I say "Death smiles at us all, all a man can do is smile back". I only take serious things that truly deserve it ..
As a dear friend of mine who recently passed would say "hey man, don't sweat the petty .. pet the sweaty".
