Hans and Sophie Scholl , It is hard for thee to kick against the pricks. Acts, IX. 5.
When possible I am on my tractor, in the forest or rooting though the soil. I hope to die in my garden, with my work boots and “farmer pants” on picking beetles off my potatoes. My life a willing descent from dust to dust. A few pictures of my gardens 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 and finally 4.0
I was a Toolmaker
Starting in 78 apprenticed as a tool and die maker and then tool designer, worked in the telecom, defense and product development industries for over 40 years.
I was a Business Owner
Now retired I founded, managed, grew and sold a successful tool and die importing company with offices in Ottawa, Shenzhen and New Delhi. Traveled extensively; experienced Hong Kong when it was free.
