User Profile

I'm an industrial mechanic. I live in the southeastern US. I'm in my early 40s. I was a firefighter for ten years

I normally don't write to music unless it's very low key, like Gregorian chant.

English is my native and only language. I took Latin in high school.

I've recently returned to photography as an active interest, probably because I see so many beautiful things as I travel for work.

I also read a lot. The last five years I've switched to a lot of non-fiction, much of it on science and engineering-type topics. I took Geology in college because I didn't particularly want to cut things up (biology) or blow things up (chemistry). Although I developed a lifelong love of geology from those survey courses, I now wish I'd taken chemistry....so interesting.

I do most repairs around the house and on the cars. I have also been caught at sewing, gardening and cooking. Do not ask me to decorate unless you want the place to look like a hunting lodge. Do not ask for fashion help either....I keep forgetting the rules, if I ever knew them.

I have been known to pick up the occasional guitar, fiddle or banjo but I'm definitely not ready for primetime. I play bluegrass and traditional music, which is strange because I was raised on big band and classical. But my mother played the bagpipes, so it isn't really much of a stretch at all.
