I'm a husband to a crafty lady and a dad to six ruff and tumble boys and three little ladies.

Personally: I enjoy learning and doing stuff. Building, creating, reading, writing, gardening, walking, running, biking, jiu jitsu & helping people. I know a little about a lot of different things.

Professionally: I'm a solution looking for a problem. I love a challenge and the opportunity to work with people much smarter than me.

Philanthropically: My family and I support a number of organizations including: World Vision (humanitarian) , All Classical (public radio), Slow Money (social issues), and Kiva (microfinance).
