Hi I am Tommy. I am very honest and easy going. I grew up here in Portland and have a solid and wide variety of friends. I work two jobs that take up most of my time. I have worked at a small boat propeller shop for 5-6 years now, we bought it three years back. I end up working about 40-50 hours a week. On my days off I love to go out of town for one thing or another.

"You cannot stay on the summit forever; you have to come down again. So why bother in the first place? Just this: What is above knows what is below, but what is below does not know what is above. One climbs, one sees. One descends, one sees no longer, but one has seen. There is an art of conducting oneself in the lower regions by the memory of what one saw higher up. When one can no longer see, one can at least still know." — René Daumal

I have been told: "Everything is created twice, once in the mind... and again HERE." In this way there are two battles to win one in your mind and again with your hands. I want to get to know a Musician, Painter, Dancer, Sculptor, Architect, Craftsman, a creator of any type. An artist. Someone who takes raw material and forms it to their minds eye.
