Hi All,
I Grew up in Colorado. My dad owned a fence and lumber business and I worked for him running the wood milling equipment until I was 18. Then, I went to college in Denver and got a degree in fine art. Right out of college, I realized I wanted to see the world, so I moved to California and a friend got me into the entertainment lighting business. I spent the next 25 years touring with top name acts. When i was home between gigs, I would always buy a piece of woodworking equipment and start a new woodworking project. Well, 25 years later I took a work-from-home job as a lighting designer for a company that lights the large booths at the auto shows in all the major cities. Only gone 5-6 weeks out of the year now. This gives me a lot of time to work in my basement shop. Nothing better than being in the shop with the music playing, working on a project!
