I am currently serving in the US Air Force reserves, and I work at the post office. Woodworking has always been interesting to me and something I have wanted to learn. this summer I started some small projects as a hobby and hope to get better at it.
A constant student of watercolor painting, I find the medium exciting, creating byways to new ideas and leading me to experiment with varied subject matter.
