CURRENT MISSION

Live, don't want to miss a minute or a chance.

ABOUT ME

I live in Richland Center, WI a small rural farm town with my wife. Two grown children out on there own now so we are learning to live all over again. Started traveling and exploring. Learned to scuba dive two years ago and just had my first flight behind the controls about a month ago. I build and repair houses for a living, always new and interesting. I prefer and have built several round houses and am currently starting a new venture building temporary disaster relief shelters.

PHILOSOPHY

You can always make more money, you can never make more time.
I believe in steering my own boat and Captain Pichard's "Make it so"

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Last month we had a meteor streak across the sky in southern Wisconsin. It was about 10 at night and lite up everything to about dusk brightness then exploded in a hugh orange fireball. Absolutely incredible!!
