About Me

Hello, just a brief who am I.  I live in Shakopee, Minnesota, which is in the Twin Cities metro area. Previous homes include Duluth, Wadena, Menagha, Mankato, East Grand Forks, and  Detroit Lakes, all in the state of Minnesota.  All of my grandparents and many of my great grandparents and great-great grandparents gravitated to the northwest part of Minnesota.   

The great outdoors is my thing, and I have spent a lifetime being out there.  I hope to become a better environmentalist.  All forms of skiing, skating and biking, kayaking and hiking and climbing  I have engaged in probably to an extreme degree.  It is always a good and beautiful day out there on the water, in the woods, on the prairie, on the mountain.

I have made my living with freelance photography and also designing, marketing and manufacturing my several product lines including Glissade ski products, and Nurishield meals on wheels products.  I had been self employed for the past 40 years,  I am recently and very happily retired from providing labor to my boss and his sweatshop.

I enjoy studying history, spirituality, theology, and hope to spend much time travelling and seeing and attempting to understand America and the world.

Road trip?  Yes!!   Do we have to go home?    Uh Uh no way!!

My wife Kathy and I have three children, Haley, Melissa, and Dan, and so far 6 grandchildren.
