I attended Southwestern College and recieved an AA degree in Horticulture.I also took up surfing which basically became my life for the next 9 years.I also got involved with a construction company and did contract work on the military bases in SanDiego.I married and had my first child(Christine) in '77.In 1981 my wife and I moved to McCall,Idaho and '83 divorced.

p.At this point MJ'S Backhoe and Excavation consisted of two backhoes and a transport truck.Tina and I also married in'88 and she handled the books for our infant Co.In '90 we moved back to Idaho to a town outside of Boise named Kuna.The area here is experiencing growth and as a result our company has also grown. We now have quite an inventory of equipment and trucks but in the whole scheme of things we are still small.We have 20 employees and a shop and office in Boise.Tina and I have two wonderful girls,Makayla,9 and Megan, 6.Idaho is a great place to live and when I am not working I love to get out in the outdoors. I am an avid hunter ,(birds and big game) and all of us love to fish. I have been to Alaska a few times and will return soon.There are many more things to tell but I don't have the time or space to condense the last 37 years.I hope that life has been as good to you as it for me and will continue that way. Feel free to e-mail anytime. I look forward to hearing from you.
