More about me

Born In Duluth, Minnesota 5/16/1945.My first 16 years did not go well. Life was not at all easy.In 1962 things began to change, I had met the girl I was to later marry, I was finishing high school and I had a forward vision in life for the first time.Married in 1965 and had 3 beautiful children by 1973. I've worked in the electrical industry as an electrician, design engineer, electronics tec., inspector, supervisor, Forman, teacher and project manager/estimator.Today 5-23-08 I retired.I have 3 children and 8 grand children who I intend to spend a lot of time with.I'm a easy going guy who likes to live whatever comes down the road. I don't like schedules or too much planning.I play hockey and I inline skate for exercise.I'm like to canoe and kayak.I love to cook and bake.I like to fix, build and make things.I'm here to meet new friends and join groups that interest me.I do not have a lot of friend outside of my immediate family. I feel a friend should be someone you can always count on to help you no mater the circumstances!I do not support any major or minor political party and feel that professional sports should be grounded in Hollywood.
