Currently I am trying to take full advantage of the weather and do as much hiking and backpacking as possible. I recently finished a 4 day Wilderness Survival Course with Mountain Shepherd in Virginia.
As it sits, my 1986 BMW 325 (project car) is in the final stages before I get to finally drive it for the first time.
When not designing, I can be found wrenching on my latest project car (86' BMW 325) or outdoors. I am a catch & release fisherman who loves travel and culture.
I am constantly looking for a challenge to improve my skillset, so dont be fooled by the "star" rating below. I am a firm believer that there is always room for improvement. Oh, I forgot to mention that I'm a foodie too, after all who doesnt enjoy a good meal?
