"They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary
safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety."
--Benjamin Franklin

Comfort the disturbed and disturb the comfortable.

I love playing games of all sorts. I spend way to much time on the computer. I enjoy being outside. I wear kilts as often as possible. I ride a motorcycle. I volunteer at a pagan church. I am a volunteer emergency communicator.

I have always wanted to be creative. A couple years ago a friend introduced me to the world of Steampunk. This led to me figuring out how to build props that actually do things. Like a hand cannon that shoots fire balls. I have several other projects in the works. Everything from articulated wings to a functional tube ships radio.

I am geeky, loud, and weird

I have 3 kids who are the center of my world.
Working with computers, spending time with my kids, being involved with the Seattle steampunk scene, and being an active and discerning beer drinker.

I got my first motorcycle to commute on. Now I love them so much that when my children are grown I plan to take a summer and tour the US on a bike.

I really enjoy meeting people. This year I attended FaerieWorlds. The last evening I was there some people I had briefly talked to earlier came and found me. They had been sent my direction by a friend of mine who figured i would have met everyone by now. They were looking for a ride up to Seattle. We found one of them a ride and the other rode part way back with me on my motorcycle and part way with a friend of mine. They ended up staying a couple days at my place and my kids and I took them around to see the sites. I would love more adventures with cool people i meet.

Computers- I started using computers when I was a kid. I quickly got into video games. When I left college and needed a job computers became the obvious choice. Since then they have become less of a hobby of mine, and more a way to pay the bills.

Talking.

Listening.

That I'm loud.

At home hanging with my family or out with friends- probably someplace that makes their own beer!

I am very shy in many social situations. I am overly outgoing to compensate for it.

You think I would be interesting to chat with.
