I get involved with numerous projects here in Hot Springs. My main diversion is definitely my Ham-Radio hobby. In a world of email- It is nice to actually hear the person who you are interacting with. You'll see me walking around talking to Russians on my  Handi-Talkie.  

I also enjoy sponsoring Russian exchange students and take mostly Moscow-vites. In May 97', my wife and I went to visit the families of our last three students. You can see pictures of it by following the link on the top page. We have had relationships with so many Russians now, it is hard to keep track.

My current obsession is digital photography. My goal was to be able to print 8" x 10" color prints at home which were as good as traditional prints. It took a lot of research and workflow development- but I think I have attained my goal. I use an Canon 20D Digital SLR, and a Epson "Photo 1270" printer. I am in the process of expanding my professional photographic services to include weddings.   

 I like to participate in local conservative politics and am pro-life. I am also a deacon at the local catholic church and love to participate in the sacrament of the mass.
