Born in Aarhus, Danmark and immigrated along with my parents to Salt Lake City in 1958. I was 11 years old, and yes, I'm a geezer but still tough enough to hold my own. Twice divorced and I have a daughter who still lives in Utah

After retiring I purchased and refurbished a US Navy Whaleboat and later a 1984 Robalo Center Console sport fishing boat. That thing is scary fast.

I am still resto/modding my '88 Bronco XLT and building a off-road camping gear/rolling chuckwagon trailer. That's been fun. I just love buying stuff.
