I HAVE BEEN BLESSED WITH MANY YEARS OF ACADEMIC DETOURS, PERSONAL SOUL SEARCHING AND PROLONGED AND HAPPY PERIODS OF IDIOCY. IN RECENT YEARS ALL THE PIECES HAVE BEGAN TO FUSE INTO PRETTY WELL-ROUNDED UNDERSTANDING OF THE WORLD AROUND ME. NEXT THING I KNOW, I'M DESIGNING THINGS AND PLACES FOR PEOPLE'S MINDS TO INHABIT. I DO THIS BY QUESTIONING REALITY AND PEELING THE LAYERS OF RESIDUAL, SECOND-HAND THINKING. IF DESIGN IS INDEED A PROBLEM SOLVING, MANY PROBLEMS DID NOT HAVE TO EXIST IN THE FIRST PLACE. I'M NOT IN THE HABIT OF WALLPAPERING FAULTY LOGIC AND AM NOT AFRAID TO TURN A FEW STONES IN SEARCH OF A LASTING SOLUTION. I LIKE TO BE AWARE AND TO KEEP MY RANGE OF REASONING BROAD AND THERE ARE PLENTY OF THINGS THAT KEEP MY MIND WIDE OPEN: GARDENING AND FORAGING COASTAL WOODS, HIKING, SPEARFISHING, DRAWING AND GETTING LOST.
