Hello Everyone,

I am happy to have joined the ABS. I grew up with a farm/ranch family in Texas. Now, I live in CT, on a very small sort of farm. Sort of. It wants to be a farm when it grows up.

I have been making knives as a hobby for about 8 years. I plan to be full-time when I retire from my current job. Of course, I only work 8 months of the year (I am a prof) so I am a full time knife maker part of the year.

I have been friends with a number of you guys (y'all) and been in awe of the work of many of those I know, and many more whose work I have followed.

It is an honor to be here. I do not, at present, plan to do any JS or MS testing. It is enough for me to contribute to the group, and watch all of you other folks shine.

thanks for having me,

kc
