President

Sam is an aging perpetual fledgling committed to dipping his toes into as many crafts, disciplines, and metaphysical outlooks he can while ultimately mastering nothing. From philosophy, to alternative energy, to real estate appraisal with countless hobbies sprinkled in between, Sam has always yearned for a space where disparate skills come together.
