The New Stuff Area
This area is for any new and late-breaking news. If I have any huuuuge information such as upcoming trips, etc. it will be located here.
In June 2019 I went to Portersville, PA to get two days of chainsaw training. Now I can do some chainsaw work for Team Rubicon. In December 2018 and February 2019 I went to Panama City, FL area to do some disaster relief work with Team Rubicon. In May 2019 I traveled to Omaha, NE and worked for the week in Pacific Junction, Iowa. The flooding was really bad there.
This site provides information on various things I have done that family, friends, and former co-workers seem to find interesting. I have been inundating everyone with numerous large emails and needed to stop the insanity. So, I created this web site to eliminate clogging up everyones email box. Now I can send a short email, “Hey, I did something, if you are interested, feel free to check out my web page.”
This website is the result…enjoy!

I am not a professional photographer by any means. However, if you take hundreds of photos you are bound to get a few good ones. These are some of my favorites.
When I finished the AT, my mother said all her friends wanted to hear about the hike. So, I prepared a presentation for the North Hampton Seniors group. I have since prepared a couple other presentations for this group.
This area has some information on what kind of training I do and what kind of equipment I use.
