Your Best Hobbies (other than Audio)

I own a historical home in S.E.Michigan (1867 Greek Revival). In parallel, I collect and use antique woodworking tools that I use in some of my restoration work.I also own and play a couple of high end Martin acoustics. Many moons ago I apprenticed to learn classical guitar building and in turn picked up the obsession for wood, music and tools all in one fell swoop. Have never looked back. I must admit I have way too many tools for my needs.

In order : My family, Skiing, Fly Fishing on the Yellow Breeches Creek, Mountain Biking.

I just went to your website. You, sir, are not a photographer; you are an ARTIST! My god, just those few pictures I looked at were beautiful. I like to think of myself as pretty good with a lens (I use an Olympus OM system), but my stuff looks like family reunion pics shot with a disposible next to yours.

Slipknot, if only more art directors would look at my images the way you do. I sincerely appreciate your kind remarks, you literally made my day.

My husband and I have completely renovated our last two homes - I do most of the design work, he does the execution.

I am also an avid gardener. I currently have over 200 roses in my rose garden, all flourishing. My husband and I have done all the landscaping on our current country home.

We travel extensively - my position requires it of me. We are both history buffs - love the international museum circuit [history, art and especially science]. We have collected some wonderful not too expensive art reproductions in the process.

I am an accomplished pianist - not jazz; classical.
