Off the Clock...

I am an artist and "compulsive maker".

At any time I may be creating wearable art in metal, breathing new life into a damaged antique, making crayons, or drawing. Leave me alone with a pen and piece of paper too long and it will be covered with cartoons.

A few years ago I started racing marathons and triathlons. This has been an amazing and mind-expanding journey as much as any artistic endeavor.

I like to bring joy into every day. I think humility is a superpower.

Other Fun Stuff

My roommate is a total drama queen

Urban farmer

Mural painting

Tiny, quiet spot in the middle of Paris

Nothing says "Merry Christmas" quite like gingerbread dinosaurs.

I fix busted antiques. This old tool chest was in pieces with a bad varnish job chipping off. I got to practice faux treatment and to give it a whole new style. Plus: power tools.

I draw bunnies

Training for 140.6

Kids can get you to do the darndest things (this is my "spacesuit").

I don't keep skeletons in the closet. I park them right in the living room.

I think this is darn funny

I run marathons voluntarily
