My purpose

It's been said by far too many people for it to be a coincidence, or for me to not believe, that I am a "Renaissance Man." Not to be in any way self-aggrandizing, but I can sing reasonably well, I play both the piano and the organ exceptionally (at least in my opinion), I'm a french-trained pastry chef turned bread baker, an Air Force veteran with a rounded experience of all things handy, and where I'm going in life is for only me to decide. It's been overwhelming over the years to keep everyone in my life up to date with all of my goings on given the nature of exactly how many different things that I've been up to.

What I hope to accomplish with this blog is to not only be able to communicate effectively with all of my friends and family members, but also to be able to document the goings on in various interests I pursue as they can change with little to no warning. I plan to pursue an active operatic career this spring at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music, am a current top-tier employee at The French Patisserie in Pacifica, CA, and have dramatically increased both my interest and expertise in artisan bread baking as of the last 4 months so you can see why I'd need a forum such as this.

As I get better and better about posting, using this new interface, and adding great baking pictures, the posts should become exponentially better. I hope you enjoy them.
