History/Origin:
After drifting from coast to coast and a few points beyond the sea, I settled down in San Francisco after a brief stint in Sacramento where I learned the carpentry and set building skills necessary for the completion of the Secret Alley. Still an inveterate traveler and adventurer, my wanders have led me through Southeast Asia, India, across Western Europe to the Americas and Caribbean.

Education:
Attended various public schools from Phoenix to Florida to Santa Cruz, I attained my Associate's Degree from Santa Monica College in 1999 and a Bachelor's in English literature from UC Berkeley in 2002. My construction and carpentry skills were garnered from an apprenticeship/indentured servitude to Bill and Jesse Thomson. Most of the stuff we do now we just teach ourselves. These days I pick up classes at CCSF and I hope to start a Master's program in Architecture and Design in the fall of 2010.

Interests:
I like working with my hands, landscaping and building things. I like to sail and play drums and just started rock climbing. I'm a huge fan of the beach and whiskey specials. I like burgers for breakfast and eating pizza at the park.

Activities:
I think I covered this stuff in the previous sections. I'm not a huge fan of organized sports or any club or activity that benefits anyone.
