About
'm a happily married guy going on 11 years! I've been a vegetarian now going on a year, I feel rather satisfied I made a good choice and wish more people would realize the issue of eating meat, but hey, I'm not here to preach.
I am studying wood carving masks, mainly Pacific Northwest Coast Indian, European festival masks, Japanese Noh Masks and American Folk style carving.
I enjoy the outdoors, especially hiking, kayaking, rock climbing ( I used to climb but have given this up for my wife.)

I have a great love for music, I believe that once you start listening to new types of music it opens up new and exciting cultures to explore.
