Personal and Business Interests:

I have so many hobbies that I enjoy, it's hard to name them all. I really love being creative and fixing things--except people--I've learned most really don't appreciate it no matter how good your intentions. On any given day one can generally find me with either a paintbrush, scissors(I try not to run with them), or hammer in my hand.  In fact, a friend once remarked that he thought I might not be happy in Heaven without rooms to remodel or buildings to design. In addition to my teaching appointment, I run my own business designing, constructing, and altering clothing and providing consultation or custom made items for the interior design of rooms. I am also actively and joyfully involved in my church and community.

Besides my zeal for design, I love to travel--especially to exotic or adventure filled places.  One of the most rewarding things that I have done is travel around the world for a summer. I just hopped on a plane by myself and saw the world--I recommend it for just about anybody. My adventures took me into the jungle riding on elephants, bartering for fabrics in crowded markets, canoeing in crocodile and hippo infested waters, and getting tossed around in a raft on the wildest river I have ever seen. I am happy anytime that I am out enjoying nature and God's creation.
