Founder

There is an expression (something like this) "We are now who we were when we were 10 years old."  When I was 10 I loved being outdoors, riding my bike, exploring the neighborhood and local empty lots overgrown with Ragweed and other "prairie" plants, catching butterflies and bees, and working on my bike. I also raised tropical fish.  I don't have the tropical fish now but I still love exploring, riding my bike and being around water life.
