I have been an avid fan of country music, in its many forms, since I was a kid.

For a few years, from about age fourteen, I attended a weekly Jamboree at an old farmers market near where I lived. I think it was there that I got hooked on "Classic Country" music.

The Grand Ole Opry is another of my favorite places and I have made the fifteen hour drive to Nashville many times.

I was born and raised in Ontario, Canada. We currently live in a rural area, about 25 miles from the City of Toronto.

I have been married to a wonderful lady, for 52 years and we have a son, a daughter, a daughter-in-law, two grandchildren and three dogs, (The Scalawags).

I spent 41 years of my life working for an Airplane Manufacturer. I retired in 1998 and after a short holiday, I worked as a Management Consultant for a few additional years.

Over the years, I have had many hobbies but the ones I liked best were:
-Electronics (Built a lot of audio equipment)
-Photography (had my own darkroom and home studio)
-Camping

We began camping in a tent in 1962 and since that time have been through one soft top tent-trailer, four travel trailers and three motorhomes.



We joined "National Campers and Hikers Assoc." (NCHA) in 1968 but then left the organization in 1990. We rejoined "Family Campers and RVers" (formerly NCHA) in 1997.

In fact, FCRV is where my name (soundman) originated. From 1969 through 1979, I had the task of setting up and operating the sound systems for the many events, they produced here in Ontario.
