As you can see above, my interests are not limited to amateur radio. The horses are Asher (left) and Archie, registered Haflingers. We also have English Angora rabbits on our mini-farm. For more about life outside of radio, try my non-ham home page.

I will be adding to this site as time permits, please come back again soon...
