So I'm starting this blog for a variety of reasons. Mainly, I have been given ample time lately to contemplate my life, jobs, political and social ideas, and many other subjects. There are a lot of aspects of my life right now that I am either unsure about or want to change. In starting this I am hoping to not only get my ideas out in journal form, but to stimulate action and collaboration with those around me. It will probably been written somewhat choppily at first, but so are most of my ideas and goals. That being said I am going to start by talking about several parts of my life that I want to improve. I'll do it by sections probably as one post=one subject, but I am sure they will all start to run together. I know this sounds simple, but right now I am doing this more for myself than others. I do welcome criticism however, but it should be constructive in nature. Thanks for reading and enjoy!

I will be writing about my job(s) and how to do something I can be proud of, while helping the community in some way. I love bikes in all forms especially mountain biking. I should always ride more and am trying to get more involved with some local clubs and advocacy in general. I enjoy brewing beer as well as drinking it, travelling, being outside, making and fixing things. I live with my partner Molly and she is a wonderful lover and best friend!
