I am a local Twin Cities resident, who enjoys many aspects of life. I am active in blogging and social media, as well as keeping up on current technology trends. I am an avid photographer & videographer who donates a great deal of time and experience to various organizations in the region. In the summer months, I enjoy camping, biking and spending time on the St. Croix River. Into the fall, I participate in a number of steam/threshing shows across the state.

I am also in the process of restoring a classic British sports car, and am interested in just about any project that challenges my creative or mechanical abilities. When I have spare time, you might be able to catch me home brewing a few batches of hand-crafted beer. In addition, I am interested in cycling, weight training and maintaining a healthier style of living.
