ABOUT ME
Hello and welcome to my web site with examples of my work, skills, and interests.
To put it simply, I like building things.
I like to see a project through from beginning to end and get great personal satisfaction from a job well done.
No matter the project, I always strive to complete it correctly and efficiently.
Thank you for visiting my web site; I look forward to speaking with you more in person.

My Motto:
I know a lot about a little,
A little about a lot,
Nothing about some things,
And everything about nothing.
I know a lot about a little,
A little about a lot,
Nothing about some things,
And everything about nothing.
"I know a lot about a little"
I've learned a great deal from a variety of sources about certain subjects. For example, I know A LOT about bridges because I've been working with them for the last 17 years. Both my formal education and my work experience have taught me about metal fabrication. I also know quite a bit about woodworking, computers, and automobiles since they're hobbies of mine.
"A little about a lot"
I love to read. I've been reading the newspaper for over 30 years and magazines and books for even longer. On a daily basis I typically check local, national and international websites for news items. I find it interesting to see different views about the same subject - particularly international views about American news items. I'm also the type of person who retains information better when I read it, so all of this reading educates me on a lot of diverse subjects.
"Nothing about some things"
I'll admit it - there are subjects that I don't know anything about. Football comes to mind; when I was a kid my father rarely watched sports on TV, so it never became a pastime of mine either. Does that mean that I can never learn about those subjects? Of course not. When the need arises, I learn about new subjects all the time. Sometimes this is something as simple as "how to build a website" to something as complicated as "how to build a curved glued-laminated beam". Neither subject is intuitive, but both can be learned.
"And everything about nothing."
No one knows everything about anything - including me. Even Stephen Hawking, the current expert on everything about the Universe, doesn't know why it exists. To claim to know "everything" about something would be ridiculous because there is always something new to learn.
