I didn't like the possibility of being layed off all the time so I went to work for a company that manufactured Formica countertops.

ger buildings. We are now located in a historic building that is a block long and we have expanded into a cabinet shop, countertop fabricating shop, flooring company, and a kitchen remodeling contractor. I have recently gone into business with my brother Tom as a General Contractor in the Clear Lake area.
I am married for the second time and I have 1 son, a police officer in Martinez, and my wife has a son and a daughter. I guess I have 2 hobbies, building custom cars and doing woodworking projects. I have a 29 Ford Sedan Delivery, a '70 El Camino SS396, and a 32 Plymouth Sedan, and a cabinet shop that I can make some great bird houses in!
