John's Story

Life Lots of ups and downs like everyone else. I have a wonderful daughter named Rachel Lizbeth Peckenpaugh. (photo coming soon) She is going to be 16 in Jan 2008. She goes to school at Manual High School and The Youth Performing Arts School. She is majoring in Theatre. She is kinda quiet and introverted until you give her a script. She may not make a career of it but a scholarship would be OK with Dad. My wife Katie, what can I say. She has put up with me for the last seven years. We finally got married about a year ago. She works as a Vet Tech and trains and shows dogs. A lot of "dog people" are weird. She's not. When I met Katie she had 5 Greater Swiss Mountain Dogs. Now we have 3. These are big working dogs (>100 lbs). They pull carts and wagons or carry packs. The Swiss farmers call them the "poor mans horse". We went to Switzerland for 10 days in 2005 and ended up importing a puppy. We live in the Cherokee Triangle. Were close to Bardstown road and theres always something going on. I remember skipping school one day in high school and we went to Cherokee park. I remember thinking that one day I would like to live in this area. Here I am! I played Bass guitar around town in the 80's and 90's with a bunch of bands. I was in Gypsy Dave's S...Expand for more
ideshow, The Rockin' Lobsters, LMNOP,Liz Miller, Hank Sinatra, Lunachick. I cant remember all of them. One of my favorite experiences was playing in the "The Peckers". We were the house band at the Toy Tiger (now a Thorntons). Good times. We opened for some decent acts like Foghat and Nazereth. One night we backed Roger Clinton (Bill's brother). What a lounge singer! I dont play anymore. I have done some studio work for charity with my brother-in -law Bernie Lubbers. You may know him as a comedian. He's on Bob & Tom every now and then. Bill is a friend of mine. He's been very good to me. Workplace I work for Vogt Ice LLC (formerly Henry Vogt Machine Co.) as a Sr Product Designer. We make commercial and industrial ice making equipment. Our machines make anywhere from 2 to 80 tons of ice per day. Business is good right now. I use a CAD software called SolidWorks. It's awesome. I create 3D computer models. I actually build the machine and check it with the computer before making drawings for the shop. Military Check out my picture of the jet. That pretty much sums it up. Strategic Air Command, 8th Air Force, 509th Bomb Wing. Ronald Reagan was president. We bombed Syria. France wouldnt let us fly over. We lost some good aircrew because of that.
