In order of importance: God, Vicky (my wife), Family, and Friends are what make me tick! I am an Artist and Bead Collector, with passion for knowledge about that what fascinates me! I love cultures of the world, especially the ones veiled in mystery. From the Polish Mountain Highlanders to the Nomads of Mauritania, I have a deep love of the people and their ways. I often have a sarcastic sense of humor, I don't mean to offend so don't be! There is too much suffering in the world already to add more, hopefully I can lessen it to some degree! Thomas
