You've wandered into a place where you can see my latest art, hear a good story or two, and hopefully escape reality for at least a small while. So check your worries at the door and pull up a stool. Rum on the rocks you say? Ahh... There you go.

        If you take a look at my Works for Sale page you will see merchandise that I have available for you. It includes many hand-carved, one-of-a-kind pieces of art ranging from wearable jewelry, to bottle-stoppers, and anything in between. There will also be hand-cast, hand-painted resin works that, in most cases, can be made in whatever colors you would like. Don't be afraid to leave a comment and let me know if you have any special requests or commissions you would like to see.

        The Gallery page contains pictures of past works in all types of media. This page will be forever growing as I add more and more images, so check back often.

        Matuku Moon is a story that I wrote several years ago. I've decided to breathe some new life into it here in The Leeward Lounge. I will be rewriting Matuku Moon, one chapter at a time, and releasing them here about once a month or so. I would love for you to leave comments and critiques for me to read. Eventually, I will be holding random drawings for free merchandise and coupons for those of you that tune in to the story.

        My Journal is a place where we can get to know each other better. I will be posting my thoughts about things that interest me and you can comment on anything you'd like. I will talk about projects I've started, a new rum I've just tried for the first time, or the upcoming Packers game, It could be anything at all.

        Lastly, the Contact Me page is just that. It's a place for you to contact me for special requests or to just leave a message.

        I am truly looking forward to meeting you all, so make yourself comfortable. What's that you say? Another round? Coming right up. Have as many as you'd like. I'll be here all night.
