MY INTERESTS, HOBBIES, AND MOTIVATION
I enjoy creating items that people have dreamt up.  My theory is that, if you can draw a picture of it, or describe it to me verbally; I can build it.
Being creative all the time is difficult for me.  I need a lot of play time with my two daughters and even internet games until late at night, when "normal" people are sleeping.
I am  a martial artist also, and have been building myself a gym in hopes of someday teaching here in my own home.
Divorced, with joint custody, I spend three days and nights per week just loving my two year old and her new, two month old sister (Dani-Rose & Zoey May) .  So the remaining four days I have to realy get going in order to make a living.  Thankfully , I  am versed in  all aspects of construction, and naturally talented (or so I'm told) in creative design, so finding work in beautiful "Illinois Valley", Cave Junction, is not so hard for me.  Oregon is rich with the different trees needed for my creations.
Work to live
That is me.  I am not one who lives to work.  I have found that my best work was accomplished when I was not in a hurry, and my mind was in the mood.
I am a person who loves free time and knows how to fill it doing all sorts of fun activeties. Running with my  girls in tow, and  exercising in my home-made gym, thats my idea of living well.  Next, we're off to swim at one of the many rivers snaking through the Illinois Valley.  Or just cooking, reading, and  watching movies together.
DAN ON TREEHOUSE
This is a treehouse I built for a local business.  I am standing proudly on the patio.
It's the only recent picture of me in my natural work environment that I have.
The following are pictures of the newest additions to my home.  Its a humble gym that I hope to use for training people in the martial arts and physical fitness.

That is my pride and joy,, Dani~Rose Shinerock.  She's two and a half and the most  precious thing.  There is nothing more important than she.
