Who is Captain Possible?
I have spent my lifetime doing art of some sort. Even at the age of 3 I looked at the world differently which was evident to my parents when I needed to know how much toothpaste was in a tube by squirting out the whole tube in a long line thoughout the house (which had a beautiful hardwood floor) and then was caught measuring it with a ruler. Then I doodled, drew and sculpted for 10,000 hours. “That child has a strange way about him.”
And as a curious adult I added management, leadership, psychology and communication studies to my pursuit of becoming a great teacher and mentor. I feel driven to explore the things that make me uncomfortable like snorkeling because I was claustrophobic, taking swimming lessons when I was 38 because I was afraid of water after nearly drowning in 5th grade. Being afraid to publicly speak drove me to practice that skill at a Coordinator and Trainer inside Aspen’s Elite Snowboard School. Then with 7 years of weekly training in Toastmasters, I Presented at Ignite Bend which happened to be my first time on a stage. Followed by 3 years of Improv Training I can honestly say I have courage storytelling in front of people. And I know I have a lot more to learn. I have had a life long fear of heights, so of course I have become a climber.
Participating in creative endeavors inspires me. If you’re a local to Bend you could have seen a few of my Winterfest snow sculptures or one of my collaborations with other artists for the non-profit Base Camp Studio’s annual “Painting Marathon” fund raiser. Telling stories within the venue, “Ignite Bend," I hoped to inspire children and adults through my presentation entitled “100 30-minute Frogs. A Story of Redemption: one Frog at a time."
You may also see me with my family – walking or hiking our dog, Biscuit, or riding our mountain bikes, playing on the river, going up to the lakes or snowboarding at Mt. Bachelor, and we spend some time doing yoga too.
I grew up in North Dakota, spent some years in Aspen, CO, and since 2009 have been creating living spaces that both my clients and I are proud of right here in Bend, Oregon.
