I'm really good at building things that shoot, hurl, or throw stuff.

Every day, I walk with my dog - summer, winter (it gets -20 F in Saint Paul), rain or shine. The nicer the day, of course, the longer the walk.

You get energy from other people, so hang out with energetic people.

I'm a writer and I also do a lot of professional speaking on risk taking and creativity as well.

I get some of my best ideas while out walking.

My home office and workshop are on an overlook on the only deep river gorge on the entire length of the Mississippi River.

I think it's important to associate with positive, upbeat people.
