I am a widowed, differently-abled, semi-retired, photographer and graphic artist. In my previous life (before Charcot-Marie-Tooth Syndrome), I was a personal trainer, fitness specialist, strength coach, and athletic trainer (I still have the T-shirts to prove it). Vocational rehabilitation re-introduced me to photography and other artistic pursuits. I lost my mate of 13 odd years (some more odd than others) a few years ago. I like to think of myself of Celtic origin since I have mostly an Irish and Welsh background.

I am a tall (6'4", 6"5" with the hardware on and a lot shorter when I use the wheels), hairy bear with long dark brown hair, a salt'n'pepper beard (variable - it seems to change on its own), hazel eyes (which also seem to change on their own), some ink (two dragon tattoos, so far), and some metal (pierced ears and nipples, among other things).
