Bio:
I am married with 2 grown daughters. My wife, Sharon, is the one person who has enabled me to pursue my love of fishing. We believe in a strong family and relocated to Henderson Nevada from Las Cruces New Mexico in 2001 to be closer to our married daughters and grand children. I am an electrician by trade. I was an apprenticeship instructor for 9 yrs for both IBEW 583 and for New Mexico State University Dona ana Branch. I have owned my own Electrical Contracting Company. Several years ago I made a career change to became a Maintenance Supervisor for Pillsbury Company in a plant that made salsa, sauces, beans, chopped and whole chile. I am now employed by TIMET, a leading manufacturer of Titanium, as a Maintenance Supervisor. I enjoy family time with my wife, children, grandchildren and dogs (Tiny and Eythl). My other interests are car racing, fishing, hunting, fishing and fishing. Did I mention I'm a rabid fisherman?
