This week’s nerd is Chris Cavallari, the man behind The Acadian – Maine Custom Carry. Chris created The Acadian – Maine Custom Carry as a hobby to have that kept him close to home nad family while also satisfying his need to create. The Acadian is inspired by his personal experiences of being a boy scout, his rustic esthetic in general, and his home state of Maine. We discuss how Chris learned the skills necessary to turn wood and create pens, The Acadian’s evolution from a hobby into a business, some special pens that will be of interest to fans of The Shawshank Redemption, and Harry Potter, and how failure turns practice into learning.

In a different life Chris and I had a podcast called “Create Consume Delete,” which focused on the technical aspects of media and media creation. This was when he was running a video production company and I had was running a recording studio. It’s been many years since either of us called those our jobs and it was great to get together again to create an episode of a podcast.

The Adult Nerd’s twitter account is up and running! I had some issues with the settings of the domain, which caused me to be unable to reset the Twitter account’s password. If you’re interested in following the show more closely, follow @theadultnerd on Twitter. The Adult Nerd newsletter is also up and running with the first issue being sent out last weekend.
