About

I'm an engineer by degree with a passion for the arts and working with my hands; and a disdain for the way engineering is taught in schools. I'm a bit of a speedy jet with a broken compass, I'm always racing in the direction of the skill that's caught my interest... for now. My goal is to inspire others to get out to their local makerspace or their garage and get making things. Thanks for stopping by!
