The man

I'm a Portland Oregon native, I've had various jobs cooking, welding, computer tech support, the list is fantastically long. Lets just say I'm a hands on student, for life. My sister runs a business down at Portland saturday market, the creativity appears familial.

I quite enjoy making soap, designing the recipes, scenting etc and plan on doing another couple hundred pounds soon, my family has been demanding more. I built my own forms and a wire cutter for that project. My batches were 20 or 40 pounds depending and I would run them over my wire cutter and get 80 or 160 bars.
I have always had a collection of parts from various hobbies. I can't dispose of broken appliance without stripping the goodies out.
Me and my cat enjoy a little place in N Portland. I Work for a Shipping company, it keeps me in great shape. I spend a lot of time reading science and physics articles.
