Professionally I have been a summer camp counselor, a Draftsman/designer, salesperson, bicycle mechanic, laminate flooring machine mechanic, teacher, and designer of the OP Loftbed. Personally I am a human that was born in the United States. I now consider myself an Earthling that lives on planet Earth. I like to know how things work. Sometimes that involves taking them apart. Sometimes I put them back together the same, sometimes with improvements, and sometimes not at all.
