My wife make the most beautiful quilts.

My favorite hobby is wood working - everything from wood turning to furniture.

I also have a small side business making signs, banners and decals.

I enjoy making jewelry out of Swarovski crystals and settings in silver.

I teach guitar and voice, and build customer computers, with the occasional computer repair job. I had taken some time off as all my students were run by pagent moms.....Really frustrating clients. Showing up hours late, or not showing up at all... Now that I've got time again, I'm going to advertise a bit more so I can be more selective with which students I'm taking into my studio. At least it's giving me a chance to use the degree that I spent all that time on.

I also do side work for Green House Recording Studios as a studio guitarist/ consultant, but work with my brother doesn't come often. I do get free studio time out of him though. Speaking of which...Buy my CD...
