Weird yet valuable skills:

  • I do weddings. Literally speaking, I am an Ordained Minister and officiate nondenominational weddings for friends and family.
  • Because my first job was in a taxidermy shop, I am able to create forms for mounting deer, rabbit, and various other critters.
  • I am not great at remembering movie quotes, but I can remember the faces of actors and where “we know them from” — often from obscure independent movies or television shows from long ago.
  • My sense of direction is eerily impeccable in places I visit for the first time.
  • Automobile diagnostics and some repair comes easy to me.
  • I can repair just about anything with duct tape.
  • There are things I can smell and hear that many humans cannot.
  • In the event of an emergency, my body and mind go into immediate overdrive and I get things done I’ve never trained for or even experienced.
  • I can survive in the wilderness alone for 3-5 days with minimal supplies.
  • I have never met a motorized vehicle I can’t drive (land and water-based only).

Weird hobbies:

  • I love to draw complex mazes.
  • Adult coloring books are fun and relaxing, especially the ones with artful curse words and fractals.
  • Building fun spaces for squirrels.
  • Organizing anything and developing life hacks.
  • Folding laundry to the highest “retail” standards.
  • Leveraging my lifelong “hyper-vigilance” to provide real-time neighborhood crime busting.

Weird habits:

  • I dress from the shoes up.
  • I relax by cleaning.
  • I get the right tools for the job when it comes to upcycling fun squirrel spaces.
  • I communicate with squirrels.
  • I clean to a playlist from Spotify called “work-out twerk-out.”
  • I color coordinate without even realizing I did it.
