I am a sculptor living in Ohio.  How did I get here?  That is a question that I ask myself a great deal these days.  Recently, the family (mom, dad, and sister) inherited a home in N E Ohio.  Sounds great, unfortunately it is in disrepair and the estate is in some sort of tie up.  I have the skills and abilities to fix the home, so I thought that I could help set thing right.  Being here has been a struggle and I am tired of being away from everyone I know.  That's enough about that.  It has taken most of the year to date to make the house livable and make my studio workable.  Now I find myself flat busted and worn down physically and emotionally.  I am the type of person who can do anything I put my mind to, but am finding it hard to get myself back on the path I thought I was on.  These days, I feel isolated and trapped.  I know that I have the power to change everything.  I want to do that more than I can say. 

 

I have two wonderful dogs and a cat.

Many skills and abilities.

Friends around the country.

I joined TOOLS because:
 I want to improve my life. I know what I am supposed to do, some days I fall short. I want to change this.
You are offered your dream job. What job is it?:
 My dream job is as a professor of sculpture and artist...the two go hand in hand. I love teaching and I love making art.
My favorite wild animal is:
 Lion.
Why (describe as much as possible):
 It is my zodiac sign and how I see myself most times. Bold and courageous, a protector. Though sometimes solitary, the lion is still a social animal of great power and beauty. Self sufficient and majesticl
My favorite domestic animal is (if you choose dog be specific with breed etc):
 Mutt dogs, though I am partial to retriever shepherd mixes.
Why:
 I have had four dogs in my adult life. Two are with me today and two have moved on. Tex was the dog I had the longest. He was a golden/shepherd mix and the best friend that i could have ever asked for. He was loyal and lovable and until the day that I had to help him go he loved everyone and everything. He loved until death and never complained a day in his life.
A famous Chef will prepare anything you want. What do you order:
 I would like a sushi and kobe beef meal by chef Morimoto.
Why:
 This would be an exquisite meal of adventure. I love both steak and seafood. I am always ready to try new foods and having a meal prepared by a master such as morimoto would be awesome.
Five people either dead or alive you would have at your fantasy dinner party::
 Ed Kienholtz, Tony Cragg, Steve N, Tim Hawkinson, Buddha
Why:
 These are the most inspiring people that i have met or read about. I would like to sit down and have a conversation with them...what a fantastic conversation that would be. How great would it be to add to the conversation these individuals have had with history.
If a pilot would fly you anywhere you want, you would go to:
 Japan. I love the contrasts of Japan, the old with the new. The repression with the wild and open. Big cities and isolated countryside. The people that understand history and tradition while are also cutting edge.
My perfect slice of pizza is:
 Thin crust and crispy. Total best of the best ingredients: Fresh roma tomatoes, basil, mozzarella, sausage
You are at a bar. You order this drink:
 A micro brew IPA, something like Dogfishhead, Hopdevil, or Southerntier
You are at a coffee shop. What coffee or tea do you order:
 Americano
If a genie could grant you three wishes they would be (separate by commas):
 a life of love, a life of health, a life of happiness
You are going on a long road trip and you can only bring three CD's. Which ones do you bring (separate by commas):
 Radiohead In Rainbows, Willie Nelson Red Headed Stranger, Tool 10,000 Days
If I could do anything for my neighborhood today, it would be:
 Start a neighborhood art center that could work with the community to beautify the hood, keep the youth on the "right" track, and inspire the elderly.
A sunset I remember:
 The sun dropping over the mountains in VT. The colors seen that day blew my mind.
Any character I could be from a movie, TV show or book would be:
 Tyler Durden
Why:
 He had the courage to find enlightenment, for himself. Though sometimes perceived as craze, even by himself, he found his path and found himself. I do not condone the mass destruction of the financial industry...that is taking care of itself already.
