I started my journey in the big bustling town of Lidgerwood ND as a farm kid, building forts in the shelterbelts, playing house in the oil shed, riding with dad in the field and helping him with the pigs and cows. I moved to Wahpeton around the age of 11 and from there graduated high school and attended college for Civil Eng. and Surveying. I worked as a bartender thru college and then had to enter the real world and get a normal job. I started in Fargo for Houston Engineering and that led me to Stetson Engineering in Gillette WY.

I was born in Long Beach CA and moved to north ID in 1978. I played in the woods, fished, caused trouble and had a great childhood. I've had many occupations and I'm an electrician now.
