I am the Evangelist for the Maker Shed. It seems that there is no limit to my making interests. I'm a tinkerer at heart and have a passion for solving problems and figuring out how things work. When not working for Make I can be found falling off my unicycle, running in adverse weather conditions, skiing down the nearest hill, restoring vintage motorcycles, or working on my car.

I’ve always wanted to see what what goes on inside a cupcake car. A custom-built, TIG welded aluminum frame with brushless hub motors? Nope, it turns out it’s a tried and true electric wheelchair with some structural additions. Even if it’s simple, it’s still fun!
