I Don't Put A Great Deal Of

I'm Enjoying The Opportunity That Parks And Recreation Affords Me To Exploit My Own Soapbox Agenda, Which Is To Try To Encourage People To Make Things With Their Hands.

I Grew Up In A Small Town In Illinois, And My Dad Was A Basketball Coach. Thanks To Him, I Have Excellent Fundamentals In Both Basketball And Baseball.

When I Was A Kid, I Lived In This Small Town Way Out In The Country. We Had Three Tv Channels And One Radio Station. I Couldn't Even Get My Hands On Good Comic Books. My Aunt, Who Is A Librarian, Gave Me Tolkien's "the Lord Of The Rings," Laura Ingalls Wilder's "little House On The Prairie," And Lewis's "the Chronicles Of Narnia." They Were Such Incredible Treasures To Have In My Somewhat Mundane Country Life.

Love One Another, Make Something With Your Hands, And Exalt The Farmer.

Figure Out What You Love To Do, Then Figure Out How To Get Paid To Do It.
