It's been a non-stop roller-coaster ride for 40 years! I've lived in a nothern Wisconsin forest for the last 22 years on 80 acres with a 20 acre lake. For the last 16 years I've been married to the love of my life Judy, a crafter and basket weaver with an eclectic flare. Since we have no children our 2 golden retrievers, Chloe and Rusty command much of our attention. After traveling much of the world helping businesses develop new products and processes as an Industrial Designer, I made a valiant attempt at retirement in "02" but discovered THEY won't let me. I now pick projects as an ID consultant that I find interesting in renewable energy and sustainable building systems. Thus I have time to ice/fly fish, hunt, garden, and tend our hardwood forest. The best part, I get to play in the mud again! as a board member of our local Wildlife Restoration Association I help teach young adults the excitement and rewards of restoring wildlife habitat. In the last 5 years we've restored approximatly 40 miles of cold water trout streams and developed self-sustaining fish habitat in many Rusk County lakes and streams to eliminate artificial stocking and feeding programs. In "07" I entered the world of politics and was elected to the local town board as a supervisor, higher office is not in the cards as I did graduate from SIU. We're looking forward to coming down for the reunion to talk about old times and new times to come with many of our old friends and family.
