Congratulations to us all for making it this far. Life since graduating high school has been full of surprises! I did some time in the Army (82nd Air Born) and was a sky-diving instructor afterwards, where I met my wife, Lana, when she jumped out of a plane and into my life! We have been married for 44 years and had two children, a son and a daughter. I worked as a heavy-equipment repairman on cranes in the Operating Engineers Union and in 1985, I opened my own business, specializing in all types of cranes, conventional, hydraulic, pedestal, etc., both on-shore and off-shore. I also worked as a consultant for various companies with regards to their crane purchases. I am now retired and living the good life in Placerville, Ca.
