I have been a Ham since March of 2001. It is something I have wanted to do for many years but never got around to it. I am an avid Railfan and President of the Bartlow Township Historical Society in Deshler Ohio which owns the Crossroads Park in Deshler, a hotspot for railfans and railhams. The local repeater is 147.315 I am also one of the owner/members of the Deshler Model Railroad Club.

Other hobbies include woodworking, home remodeling, and photograghy.
