Dog walks, snowboarding & kinetic model building
Through out my adult life i have had a dog. we walk at least twice a day before and after the day starts giving me the time to get ready for the day and relax after work. On weekends we often go for longer walks or go to dog parks for socializing. Currently living with a senior dog & working on giving him his best life. Snowboarding has replaced my skateboarding days. living close in Mt. Hood has given me years of snow adventures. I find boarding not only good exercise but a great way to enjoy the outdoors. I really enjoy art that interacts with the environment and i make small mobiles and sculptures
