I'm a native Georgian (the state) and am now living in Portland, OR. I love food, wine, beer and anything else associated with taste. I love cycling, the adventure of taking to the open road for hours or days on end, exploring new places and generally being outdoors.

Most importantly, I love my wife, Britt. Together we live in a hundred year old house in SE Portland, tending the garden, chickens, dog, cat and making food together. We try to live simply and Car-Lite and with general respect to the world and the people we live with in it.

I'm currently working on building bikes using a minimum of machinery in the tradition of the great "constructeurs." I build complete bikes, resolved bikes, that can carry one over the horizon or just to the corner store without lacking for necessary accutrements, such as lighting, rain protection, and luggage carrying. Stay tuned for my latest projects.
