Today

I live in Bonney Lake Washington with my wife, Sue. We are both retired!. My son Daniel who is 39 and is currently working for a Toyota dealership as a Master Toyota tech. and living in Puyallup, WA.

I have several hobbies to keep me busy. I restore and collect old military firearms. Mostly M1 Garands and 1903's. I am also a Director and President of the 390th Strategis Missile Wing Memorial Association which keeps me busy.

I have lots of different hobbies, which also means I have lots of toys. Here are a few of my favorites.

This is a brand new Gibson Les Paul Standard in Wine Red with gold hardware. The action was set up by Mike Lull Custom Guitars They did a fantastic job! And you can see my Fender Princeton Chorus amp in the background.
This is a 1974 Gibson SG I bought new in 74. I sold my car to buy this guitar. It has been my favorite for many years. Still in outstanding shape.
This is a home built Strat. I watched Ebay for months before I found a great body and neck for this project. I used a new Warmoth custom neck I picked up on Ebay at a great price. The body is ash and a translucent purple. Purple would not have been my first choice for a project guitar color, however when I saw the pictures of this body next to a white pearl pickguard, I had to have it. It was a good choice. The custom parts are...

 - Warmoth Custom Neck

 - LSR Roller Nut

 - Lindy Fralin Blues Special neck and middle pickups

 - Seymour Duncan Pearly Gates Plus bridge pickup

 - Hipshot Tremolo

 - Active electronics with mid-range boost switch and blender pot.

 - Schaller Locking Tuners

Our two wheeled toys!
