Polyglot

Languages have always been a passion of mine but until recently, thanks to modern technology, the opportunities to learn other languages has been extremely limited for me. Again, thanks to modern technology, over the past few years my world has been opened to the languages if the world. In high school I took what turned out to be the equivalent of 3 years of Spanish and slightly over a year's worth of French. Between college and work environments I was able to put those languages to good use and improve them, especially Spanish.

Over the past few years, I have broadened my language taking on learning, Irish, Arabic Egyptian dialect, and Russian while trying to improve my Spanish and French as both have atrophied from lack of use.

Outdoorsman

Growing up in the greater Chattanooga metropolitan area, I spent a lot of time outdoors. I grew up with a healthy respect and a love for being outdoors. My interests range from camping, hiking, hunting, kayaking, and digging for ginseng.

Paralleling being an outdoorsman, my family and I try to live my life in the style of a modern homesteader. I spend time vegetable and fruit farming, I keep a small fruit tree orchard on the homestead. My family makes many of the products we use this includes household cleaning products, baking breads and during the winter much of my time is spent maple sugaring (the process of making maple syrup).
