Sometimes it's the best room in my house. It's quiet, my computer is out there and I can fall asleep in a comfortable chair if I choose or listen to music without interruption. Everyone here knows where to find me, In My Garage.

About Me

My photo
Salem, Oregon, United States
I am married; 5 kids and 7 grandkids. We traveled alot while I was growing up. Life as a kid was a combination of The Sand Lot, Stand By Me, Radio Flyer and American Graffiti. After high school we moved to Silverton, OR where I met Jean on August 10th, 1970. We married in 1971 and have been most happy together ever since. We started having kids right away. We lived in a commune for awhile in the seventies. I went to college, worked in construction and deconstruction, worked as a taxi driver, bus driver, school bus driver, truck driver, warehouse manager, food service cook, cannery worker, certified medical aide, direct care and indirect care, recreation therapist, girls softball coach, soccer coach, Special Olympics coach for basketball and bowling. I have done some acting and singing. I have worked on March-of-dimes campaigns. I was union steward and shift supervisor. My art work is developing. I am hoping to spend a lot more time in that area of my life. Staying healthy and active these days.
