“The gates of hell are open night and day; Smooth the descent, and easy is the way; But to return, and view the cheerful skies, In this the task and mighty labor lies".”

I retired from the U.S. Navy in 2014 and went right back to work for the Department of Defense as a Cybersecurity Professional. I enjoy multi-day hikes and sleeping deep in the woods. Connecting with nature is an important part of my life. I was raised in northern Indiana and spent most of my childhood outdoors, hiking, camping, and foraging for morel mushrooms were and still are some of my favorite things to do. Being a part of Loretta’s dream to run this shop and build an eclectic community of individuals who truly care for one another is an unexpected and wonderful gift.

Fun Fact: I’ve run a Dungeons & Dragon Campaign for my friends since 2020 and enjoy playing as well.
