Ever since Mr. Roberts at The Peddie School encouraged students to keep a journal, I’ve been a writing fool. Many of my words have never seen the light of day. But in the digital era, I’ve opined, reflected, and posted often, and often more often than I should have. In 2011, I began to collect my comments and save them in various folders. There was never a long-term goal, but I’d be lying if I didn’t think it had the makings of a weighty tome that could keep any coffee table from hitting the ceiling. And at times over the last decade, I got close to having a book shaped object. But in 2023 I downsized my fantasies and decided that small bites were the best way to serve it all up.

Arrange Disorder is a series. The contents reflect my fifty plus years of standing at a workbench filling orders for clients worldwide. The pages contain anecdotes, advice, musings, opinions, reflections, judgements, inspirations, sense, and nonsense. There are also many images showing what happens when a craftsman enters a collaboration with his tools and materials. This book, as well as future editions already on the drawing board, will tell my story. I’m a career framebuilder. Working alone, I make bicycles. I want people to know what I think and what I’ve seen. With more than five decades in the trade, I’d like folks to know how I got here, and why I stayed.
