Author bio

I am new to the writting space and very raw, but I know if I want to get baked/cooked/fried/broiled, it in spaces such as these. My interests run from the less atheltic out door disciplins of camping and wild life managment to gaming, 3d modeling and game design. My work background is in Underground Mining which has taken me on a grand tour of Northern Ontario and Newfoundland with stops in between over the last 20 years.
