Retired. Career as a Long Haul Trucker, Pre Cast Concrete Manufacturing Company Owner, Driver for the Traveling Farm Educational Foundation
I grew up in Ohio. Had a good childhood. Formed a locally successful rock band at the age of 14. Graduated High School. Went on to college. After three years at college I chose a career in Trucking. Bought my first truck and kept going for over 20 years. I’ve been a Mountaineering instructor in the Pacific NW, artist, and musician. Being retired, I found myself immediately drawn to the conflict in Ukraine. I knew I could help. The rest is just history.
