About Me

I am from the central Oregon coast, in a little town called TOLEDO .
Toledo is about 7 miles East of Newport...

I am married, my wifes name is Ruth, and I also have two children, Amanda is 28 years old, and is a newlywed as of July 16th, 2005. She was married to Tyson Hockema, in an outdoor ceremony performed by Pastor Tom Howard of the Eddyville Missionary Baptist Church. They just had our first Grandchild on 11-26-2007. His name is Ryder James. He weighed 7 lbs. 8 oz. and is 21" long. My wife & I are very excited about that! My son Jeffrey is 25 years old. As of June 10, 2005 we also have a new cat named "Shorty" . He is a Bobtail Manx.

What do I do? I work in a Pulp and Paper Mill. I am a Preventive Maintenance Technician.

I enjoy racing Motocross & Arenacross, hunting & fishing, Paintball , the internet, computers and GeoCaching

Probably my biggest passion is Elk hunting, and I look forward to it every year, as I have for the last 25 years or so.

As far as this computer stuff is concerned, up until about ten years ago I knew absolutely nothing about them. Thanks to my good friend Steve Vogel , (who helped me build this homepage), I have learned everything I know about them from him....Thanks Steve!

GeoCaching  is alot of fun for us. Myself, my wife and Steve & Sue, our close friends, often go together. I had originally purchased my Garmin gps for hunting purposes, but quickly found out that there are many uses for them, and geocaching is a kick in the pants!!!

Finally, my latest hobby is Paintball. It is a fun adrenaline rush! My friend & hunting partner Johnny & I built our own paintball course in his field, complete with 32 or more bunkers. We have friends and others come out to play, and also play games in the woods, and have a great time together! Come on out and give it a try!
Who knows....maybe we'll go pro someday!.....LMAO!
