Something I want to emphasize about my skills is that I have developed them through a combination of accredited organizations and teachers who could find a balance between honoring the history of that craft and allowing other forms of it in the same space.

 

I have basic knowledge of many periods in history. I train in martial arts, traditional archery, and music. I have been a percussionist for twenty-two years and am currently learning to play more instruments. I have examined many science topics.

 

Essentially, I will attempt to learn anything, even if it is not always a success. A great deal of my ability to consistently generate courage at this point in my life comes from countless moments of seeing the spark in other sentient beings' eyes when they hope that pure engagement will bring about something magical.

"Thanks for everything buddy! You stuck by the clients and made it possible to meditate in a quiet place nightly. You are always down for a walk or to play some basketball, put a puzzle together or to let us bend your ear about anything we had on our minds. Swain is lucky to have you buddy! You truly do care about all clients here. Good luck out there, fellow puzzle master!"
