Hi! I live on the East Coast of the United States. I'm an avid outdoor, nature, and animal lover, and go hiking as much as I can. I work in the IT field (from home these days). I balance working in front of the computer all day with various hobbies - I enjoy building and restoring furniture, designing & carving walking sticks and shaman staffs from wood I find on hikes, and doing other hands-on things like gardening or house repairs. I'm also an amatuer (VERY amatuer) artist, and enjoy painting and mixed media canvases and art. Also, thrifting is a ton of fun!
