I have been working with computers since I was 7 years old. Loved tinkering with them a lot. At 16 I picked up a website design book that would lead me into the career I have been professionally on since I was 18. At 334 I have tried to alternate my career by adding culinary schooling to the mix in hopes that I could turn my passion for cooking into something I could live off of. Sadly that was not the case, and as always, web design and development as well as graphic design has always helped keep the bills paid more than any chefs position I've ever had.41 years old and having relocated to Pennsylvania 2 months ago, I have begun a new long-term investment of time and passion and started a nonprofit agriculture research and development corporation called Shroomate, alongside my close friend Jessica, who has helped the company succeed in it's development processes.Our current projects are indoor mycology and horticulture.
