Gardening, Equipment Repair, Fermentation, Backpacking

Always making property improvements, planting trees, building installations, and growing vegetables and fruit on our land.  I focus on hot pepper propagation and cultivation.  The peppers all go towards fermented hot sauces that I gift to friends and family.   i enjoy the science behind the fermentation process. 

With all my Landscaping background, there is always something to fix.  I take pride in being able to service and repair most of the machines and equipment that I work with.  This is a constant learning process, and I find it very interesting and gratifying.

I love to explore on foot and try to get out for a backpacking trip at least once a year.
