Born in North Dakota; raised in Montana, Wyoming and South East Idaho. I made my living in Mining, construction, demolition scrap and salvage. Worked for several years in the engineering department of an open pit mine. Worked both for myself and for employers. Left Idaho in 1990 and headed for Nevada where I worked as an electrician at a gold mine/mill and then done some contract electrical. Finally went back to my old favorite, Demolition, scrap and salvage. My work brought me to the high desert of South Central California, on the West edge of Death Valley. When that job was complete I decided that I'd had enough and hung it up to persue some of the finer things in life while I'm still young enough to enjoy them. That was about July of 96. I squawt on a hillside where I make a comfortable, but dry camp with my five large black dogs.

I like reading, writing and arithmatic, back yard chemistry and weekend lobotomies, prospecting and prescious metalurgy, rock hounding and geology, exploring old underground mines,or just about any ols site or project.
