A bit about who I am:
I grew up in the middle of nowhere (ask my family) on the Stonington Peninsula, Delta County, MI. When I was very young we had horses and chickens and goats. My parents had moved up from “the city” to homestead in the late 70s and had found a little place of their one at the edge of a meadow. When I say little, I mean small. It was 16′ by 20′ one story, no power or running water, and an outhouse. It was the greatest home ever. We have added two additions and a second story(including a bathroom), as well as continue to work on the property. And last summer moms garden was protected by a fence for the first time; oddly enough you get more yield if the deer don’t eat everything.
When I was seven we moved into Escanaba into an apartment above my parents business on main street. More than a little culture shock eventually gave way and I got used to the idea of having a “neighborhood.”
When I was ten I was introduced to Heavy Metal (thank you Nichole!) and started teaching myself to drum to Metallica and Alice In Chains tapes in his basement It took many years and the gift of a conga (MEOW!) before I figured out I could play my mothers music, which I have been doing for the last 6 years in a band called ‘SKI (www.morskimusic.com) with my mother (Kathryn) and sister(Caitlin). We play mostly original songs written by mom and Cait on acoustic guitar, drums, and flute; and we happen to be pretty awesome (he said with his world-famous humility). Don’t worry, I will say lots more about ‘SKI in other blogs. (COME TO OUR SHOW IN MUNISING AND ESCANABA THIS APRIL!!!!!!!!!!)
Sorry for the shameless plug at the end, but I have shameless moments. 
I am running out of time again, so I guess I will stop here.
I promise to do more blog and a little less bio soon.
