About:In my personal life I am an Traditionalist, meaning I do things 'the old way,' for example I am planning an expedition this winter or next to the mountains where I'll spend something in the area of 2 weeks "Living off the land." I enjoy archery and am in the process of building a recurve bow of Osage Orange and Bamboo, on which there will be an Instructable. I've also spent some time tracking a variety of animals over a variety if terrains which may also be a future Instructable.
Professionally my life is in technology. I work at Apple Inc. as a phone support advisor, and that's all I'll really say on the topic as I like to leave work where it belongs, at work.
If you have any questions about me, archery, tracking, or my "Expedition" plans or suggestions thereof please do not hesitate to Private Message me, I'm on this site almost daily so you should receive a prompt response.
