: About Me

As a Maine resident for my entire life I have had the oppertunity to experiance coastal living at its best.  Schooled privately, I have a small but close group of friends. I began work at the age of 12 caretaking for the Olson house, a site of many of Andrew Wyeth's famous paintings, and also raking blueberries in the local fields. As I matured i devloped carreers in fine foods, high end butchering and meatcutting, as well as cultivated a vast amount of experiance in the social services field, and specialized in working with teens with mental health issues.  On the side I do extensive photography and art work, as well as a significant amount of writing. In my free time I am working to develop my 3 acres into a self sustaining system, that will in time hopefully include beekeeping, and meat rabbits, as well as some creative and extensive gardens and with any luck a small but expanding apple orchard. My life is full, and fresh. I always seek new experiances, and will not shy away from the simple things such as a walk on the beach, or the extreme and bizzare such as skydiving.
