I retired from GM in 1993 with 39 years of service and live on a small tree farm. With more time on my hands I needed something to occupy my time. My father was a woodworker so I set up his Sears wood lathe and played around. In 1997 I joined AAW and 1999 Michigan Association of Woodturners where I am a member. I enjoy segmented work and Rose Engine work.
