I have been creating things to amuse myself my entire life (63 yrs). My many interest are music: Alto sax (8 yrs old) self taught guitar (10 yrs old) bass (24 yrs old) keyboard ( 48 yrs old). Photography (14 yrs old) knife making and leather working ( 16 yrs old). Amateur radio (ham radio) licensed in Aug. 1993 as a technician class and up graded to Extra class in Aug. 2001

I spent 40 years in the custom industrial machine manufacturing business as well as some intermixed industrial machine and facilities maintenance, just to round things off. I fully retired in 2025. And I haven’t looked back once.
