In other words - I am a Jack of All Trades, and Master of None.

I grew up on a family farm, and, in retirement, share in shepherding a small flock of sheep with my wife, and practice various forms of gardening on our small farm.
An early interest in electronics and broadcasting led to a career of nearly twenty years working in television broadcasting, Public (PBS) and commercial, but associated mainly with a public school system as manager of the Cable and closed circuit services.
I am a member of the "Gleaners" band " - performing 'old time' or traditional string music, with roots in Appalachian and gospel genres.

I enjoy writing, and find satisfaction in maintaining an on-line presence representing varied interests and groups, including church and family.

I have a life-long association with the church, have taught a Sunday School class for many years, and have been writing the "Seeds For Thinking" devotional articles since 1996. A daily posting may be found on the "Devotional" blog.

Most of the pages are about those groups and organizations.
