I am a born and raised Oregonian, an US Air Force Veteran, and a retired forester. My home is located in the Coast Range of Oregon surrounded temperate rain forest with an abundance of wildlife. The beautiful Siletz River flows through our land. The eagles, hawks, owls, and other bird species are numerous that live and hunt from the old growth Fir and Spruce trees. I live with my wife of 36 years, where we raised our four daughters. We live with our four canine family members and our feline friends too. I am a also dad, grandpa, great grandpa, brother, and uncle.
