I retired from the United States Navy Submarine Community on Halloween 2004. I became an Animal Care specialist in Kitsap county Washington from there working up to Animal control Officer. In April of 2006 I moved to Troy Montana fo a change of scenery and worked as a Police officer until an unfortunate budget driven lay off. I am now a Stay at home Dad for my 2 1/2 year old daughter Erika, and 6 month old daughter Rachael, while my wife works full time as a 911 dispatcher.

I have loved knives since I was old enough for my first cub scout knife, and I have had many since. Recently with the encouragement of a friend, I have started designing knives with the intention of him producing them. Eventually I will be in a position to have my own shop.
