Interests:  

Multi-talented in the ways of the woods.  Background is in forestry. I live in the hills of Amboy.  Past experience in beekeeping and some home brew.  Currently operate my own saw mill.  I can be found at Nick’s Bar & Grill on numerous occasions including the 1st Tuesday of the month for a little Bluegrass.

Born: Salem, OR

Instrument: Singer

Music background:

Among my favorite memories are the times spent singing with family members throughout the years. There was always lots of harmonizing, so I think I picked it up by osmosis.  My Mom and Dad sang in a gospel quartet when I was very young, and Dad regaled us as children with his versions of old country tunes.

Interests:

I love to travel and am planning a trip to Turkey this spring.  I hope to do an extended road trip around the US in a year or so.  (Can I phone in for band gigs?)  I love sitting around the campfire with friends and family. I'll read just about anything, like to make art, play scrabble, and plan parties.  I also have two fabulous grandchildren who are the lights of my life!

Born:

Malvern, Arkansas. Grew up in Battle Ground, WA with some stops in Portland and Ridgefield. Now loving life near the heart of Vancouver. WA.
