Micah, the younger of my two sons, is a self-taught guitarist and composer of amazing talent. He's also a craftsman, a woodworker, an artist, a graphic designer, a web developer, a photographer, a recording engineer and, now, a budding engineer, learning and mastering the confounding workings of the 30-D printer, an invention that takes humanity one step closer to having a Star Trek replicator. I should have known, but I had no idea, on that summer day, there was so much talent incubating inside my 13 year-old son's inventive, curious mind.
Today is his birthday and, although he's not one to celebrate and boast about his own milestones and accomplishments, I feel completely at liberty to call attention to him. If you'd like to hear some of his music and check out his other creations, just follow the links below.
Happy Birthday, Micah. I'm utterly proud to be your mother!
