Hello World

First licensed as KJ4CAO then as N4NDX.

I enjoy all contacts but I lean a little more towards DX just because is a bit more challenging to me.

Just a little about me

I`m a carpenter by trade, since 1970 I have been involved in many different branches of the trade. In the home building trade I worked as a general carpenter, trim carpenter and cabinet maker, also worked in the Mill Industry for a few years. In the Super Concrete Structures Building Trade, I have worked as a structure carpenter certify to work with many different types of concrete form systems, also worked as a Layout Man and Head Layout Man on many types of structures. In the home and structure trade I have also performed as a Carpenter Foreman, Superintendent, Project Superintendent and Construcion Manager. I`ve worked my way from the bottom up in the industry and I am very proud of the accomplishments. I've been involved in the managment position in jobs like High Rise Buildings, Hospitals, Shopping Malls, Airports Parking Garages etc. I have also been a CEO of my own custom home and home inspection businesses. Now I decided to ease the paste down a little after a long ride in one of the most stressful business and started working from my home based shop building custom Wine Room furniture and other fine woodwork products. Now my XYL is my boss. HiHi
