I was raised in Boulder, leaving for a few years after high school for the usual stuff: college, bumming around, working at this and that. Came back to Boulder and eventually started my own little welding and blacksmithing business, building railings and gates all around the greater Boulder area, and repairing and/or fabricating any number of improbable contraptions. In 2020 I retired, and am now a man of leisure, enjoying the mountains and prairie with my wife. No pets, no kids.
