Hard work and craftsmanship have always been important. They always played a significant role. As a Navy Seabee during the Vietnam War surveyed many build, road and mapping construction projects. After the Navy I completed my education, became a civil engineer working on numerous high and bridge projects in Central Pennsylvania. 

I was always interested in wood working and made many pieces for family and friends. I entered a few craft shows and a customer needed storage for his large LP collection. I designed and made him 12 vinyl storage units. He liked them and posted a few notes on websites where others collected LP's. I have selling vinyl storage units ever since. 

My wife and I are ballroom dancers and enjoy dance one or two nights a week. You an often find us helping other couples learn new dancing patterns. We have also been part of the entertainment at local nursing and assisted living homes. We enjoy cruising to many countries and islands using are Disney Vacation Club points for the cruises and Disney World visits.
