I do freelance writing and have been published in such varied
magazines as The Mother Earth News and Computer Edge.

I also do carvings from elk antler. These are primarily small (less
than 2 inch) animal heads that can be worn as a hat pin, tie-tac
or broach, but I will take orders for custom work.

My background also includes making my living as a
business machine repairman, a framing carpenter, doing concrete
work, taxi driver, change person in a Reno casino, computer
operator/programmer, painter, truck driver and as the head of
Maintenance for a circuit board manufacturer (amongst other
things). I spent 3 years with the U.S. Navy and 20 years with the
U.S. Army Reserve, ending my career as an instructor in Nuclear,
Biological & Chemical Operations. I ran my own business
called Odd Jobs Unlimited for 5 years doing almost everything
imaginable around a lot of homes. I am currently in the process
of building our own home; one nail at a time, and I work for an
irrigation district as a 'ditch rider/pump
maintenance/computer operator'. I guess you could call me a jack-
of-all-trades.
