Began with subcontracting, then contracting, which led to a nice business until the economy nosed out in the 80s. Lost my A--.
By this time I was married for the 3rd time. Two more beautiful daughters and living in an estrogen rich environment (I Loved It), I pressed on.

My Wife Judy and I have now been married for 30 years. We make a living, have good friends, and enjoy life. Still ride an old classic 83 Honda V45 Magna every chance I get. Life is good.
