About The Writer
Me? I hate writting these things, but here goes.. 
(forgive me, I tend to ramble on a lot.)
Well, lets see, I’m 24, male, single(looking-kinda..) Christian(baptist). Sorta employed(part time, odd jobs, and selling products of my hobbies- and I help out a lot here on the homestead for my room and board). Live with my parents where i grew up, just outside Fairbanks, Alaska.
Alaskan by birth and choice, plan to be Alaskan my whole life.- Don’t plan on ever leaving Fairbanks, love the small town, small community and lots of countryside. I hate urban enviroments.. Although I do plan to travel, would like to see a lot of the country, and the world. I’d like to see Europe before I die.
I am a writer, as a person, and by choice of profession recently; about to go to college for writing/journalism– Anyway, I hope to if the job/GED/LIFE situation goes OK.. Soon… I’m getting there.
I’m the average ‘guy’, cars, trucks, bikes, hands on, do all my own work if I can.–re-building a custom ‘78 Ford Bronco 4×4 right now. Construction, carpentry too- we’re finishing our new garage now- 30×32 foot (9.75 metres) 2 bay. Hiking, hunting, shooting sports. lots of time snowmobiling and exploring the back country since I have 8 months of winter to do it in..
Am a country boy; cowboy hats, pickup trucks, lever-guns and honor. hate being indoors, love being outside and active/working, prefer being out and about, instead of in front of a computer…
Current life interests are getting my 4×4 finished, getting a regular day-to-day job for this next summer, and going to college for writing/english/journalism.
Will try almost anything once, love to learn new skills and pride myself on a renaisance man kinda philosophy; jack of all, master of several…
Was a custom knife maker for 4 years; hobby, then business, now a hobby again. I am a renaisance man of sorts, As I said before, I pride myself on being a “jack of all, master of many” as opposed to the old saying “jack of all, master of none”. Hobbies include pocketknife collecting and reviewing, carpentry and woodworking, pen making, knife making, leather work, painting sketching, writing, hiking/camping, some sewing.
Am a traditionalist, and prefer to use the older ways of doing things, hate using too much un-needed modern tech. Computers I like for the connections/learning/friends though.
Love reading. Love Learning, love writing. Love to share and teach too.
Short slap dash list of interests; Pens, pocket knife collecting and using , and writing articles/reviews on pocket knives. Ford/Chevy 4×4 trucks, motorcycles, snowmobiles, fishing/hunting and shooting sports. Journalism. writing, pen making, wood carving, Cowboy lore and life style. western novels & movies. I draw and paint a little too….
LOVE to cook and try new recipes, and everyone says I am a good cook- I think I’m pretty good…
Enjoy Sci-fi and fantasy books, and westerns. Sci-fi, western and action movies and tv shows, and a few musicals too…
Like all genres of music, but mainly classic 60s70s80s rock, and the same years of country, plus modern country. then it goes to Jazz(Jazz is King, but I rarely seem to have time/the mood for it) classical, usually Bach, “Classic” (early 90s) rap. Some modern rock but not the heavy grungy stuff. A lot of 90s pop…. Like I said, I do listen to almost all music genres, just can’t think of any others now to name…
Basically, I am simply me.
