  • I worked at probably the best luthiery in North America. Got let go because I couldn’t keep up. I have tremors which makes fine dextrous work very difficult. At the time I was also going through a brutal break-up too.

    Really bad time for me. Also working at this place was like playing a couple good games of beer league hockey and immediately getting drafted into an NHL team. I feel like if I took another shot at it, it would go much better second time around. But it just wasn’t meant to be at the time. No matter what, it was always going to be a massive uphill climb, but I was super dedicated to doing it and doing it well. It’s unfortunate it came to such an abrupt end, but I understand why it had to happen.



















  • I’m not sure. I feel like I’d have stuck with my parents’ political leanings if I didn’t have a catalyst to know any better. I really don’t know though. Maybe I’m selling myself short.

    My biggest awakening stems from meeting my wife years before we got together. She grew up in a more religious family than I did and experienced a lot of issues with that. She was hip to the atheism and science scene and opened my eyes to it. I can credit her almost exclusively for being that catalyst to show me that the ability to use reason and logic is a foundational skill that all humans should value and that you shouldn’t hold values that you haven’t reasoned yourself into. She’s amazing.
