About Me...

Go-To IT guy during the day and super Dad by night, I fight through the concrete jungle to provide the necessary needs for the Tribe!!

With a house of two wonderful girls, one wild crazy basenji, and a creative wife, it can get a little hectic around the old homestead. But this doesn’t deter me from coming up with creative ideas, crazy projects, and even crazier plans. It’s amazing how much you can get done between naptime and before the 2 AM bedtime curfew.

What I’m Reading….

Hot, Flat and Crowded
On order from Amazon - Was recommended by a good friend...


Self-Sufficiency Handbook
On order from Amazon - Should be a great book to continue working on my 'get the hell out of Suburbia' plan


FoxFire 3
It's fascinating to read all about the people, events, and how we used to live in this classic series. I have worked through books 1,2 and 4 so far..


Eat to Live
This was a book that really made a large change in my life and I continue to use it as a reference guide almost 1 1/2 after my first read.....

What I’m Listening to….

Change Your Thoughts, Change Your Mind
Last year I started listening to all of Dr. Wayne Dyer's audiobooks and they're very motivating, really rejuvenate your spirit and energy for life. (Oh and it's an excellent way to get rid of 'road rage'!)


Getting Things Done - FAST
Another great audiobook that I always keep in my car so if I start feeling like I'm losing control or getting unorganized, I pop this in and it puts me back on course.


Four Hour Work Week
I was very skeptical about reading this book. Seemed too 'greasy car salesman'-ish to me. But the book had some excellent ideas, thoughts, and ways to change your mind about the hours of time we waste just 'working for the sake of work'

What I’m Watching….

Food, Inc.
Ummm, Wow! If you're looking for motivation to change aspects of the 'food lifestyle' most of us have chosen in the US, this documentary will do it..
