Born in Bemidji Minnesota forty something years ago I grew up on my parents hobby farm near Itasca State Park. (Head waters of the mighty Mississippi River)

My grade school years were spent at a one room school in Alida MN. I graduated from Bagley High School and spent four years in the U.S. Air Force. I attended Bemidji State University studying Industrial Technology and Computer Science. ( you probably didn't know they had computers way back then) I'm presently living in Bemidji with my wife and three daughters. (we all live in a house owned by our cat)

I took up sculpting several years ago as a hobby.
