Dane:
Carpentry
I’ve worked as a carpenter for about 25 years. I specialize as a trim carpenter (fabricating and installing kitchen cabinets, door and window trim, and built-in shelving etc)…but have also spent plenty of time remodeling and framing homes.
Endurance athlete
I love running and cycling (particularly on trails). I once competed at an elite level in ultra-distance events, but now find simple joy and pleasure in the act itself. It’s particularly fulfilling for me to guide and coach people in harnessing their own strengths.
Farming
I have some experience with farm animals and general farming labor. I inherited and cared for a small farm of a couple horses, goats, pig, geese, cats and dogs. I have a general knowledge of maintaining schedules and keeping tidy spaces. I also enjoy general physical work with gardening, landscaping, and beyond.
