One foot in the hustle and bustle of the wonderful Twin Cities and the other foot deeply planted in the woods of Northern Wisconsin. I suppose "urban lumberjack" might be the appropriate term. I am a recent Computer Science and Art graduate from The University of Minnesota. By day I am a web developer for this here site, and by night I am the Executive Director of TC based Adamantine Arts as well as an aspiring artist, musician, and experimental cook. I am working on being involved more in the community here, so please consider me to be just another member. I usually am interested in art, music, politics, and humor stories. Yup, so that is me in a nutshell. Word.
