Born and raised in country setting just north on Lansing Mi. Attended 12 years of school in Lansing with my favorite class being Drafting. 1 month after graduating, I was attending school at Sam’s Tech in Indpls. pursuing an associate degree in Tool Engr, Technology. During the last half of my schooling, I was employed part time with Brookside Group as a junior draftsman. After 21 plus years, and achieving the position of Supervisor over Tool Design and Toolroom, I left my position and went to work at General Motors Truck and Bus in Indpls. as Tool and Die Supervisor for sheet Metal Stamping, where I spent 19 plus years before retiring in 2008. During this time, my wife and I bought and remodeled 2 homes and did all of the work ourselves, where I developed a love of wood working which is still on going today. We presently own our home in northern Monroe county on 100 acres of woods, where we reclaim and process dead and storm damaged trees, turning them into lumber and one of a kind wood products for home and office. All of the wood is organically grown in a Certified Tree Farm and Classified Forest where Best Forest Practice Management is strictly enforced.
