About Me

Do-It-Yourself (DIY) Designer & Maker

Growing up I was always told that I had an affinity to come up with creative solutions. I would often annoy my parents by presenting multiple alternate options to their parenting decrees. Since then I have continued to find creative ways to do things differently (sometimes annoying my wife) in an effort to save money, save natural resources, live a more natural lifestyle, or simply create a better design. Over the years I have been inspired by fantastic DIY post and projects. Now I am working to return the favor by sharing my projects and knowledge.

My affinity for creative solutions often leads to many unique and fun designs. However, I believe that a true DIY solution should be both effective and simple to build or create.  I work hard to make all of my projects accessible and possible, using easy to find resources. I will continually improve my DIY projects,  so please check back often for updates and improvements.

When I am not researching or working on one of my projects I am probably busy studying as I complete my final year in my Sustainable MBA program at Bainbridge Graduate Institute (BGI). Otherwise, I occupy my time teaching Spanish to elementary school students at the Madison Waldorf School. In the past I have worked for education focused non-profits like Camp Fire Columbia. I also flexed my entrepreneurial muscle by founding EnergE-Bikes, an electric bicycle company, which was a great learning experience if not a financial success. I am constantly inspired by those in the world who find creative ways to live a more integrated life with the natural world and their community. I hope to bring my diverse talents to promote ways in which we can all live a more connected, fulfilled, and inspired life.
