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.”
