I have recently transitioned to "semi-retirement" (with an emphasis on "retirement") to spend more time pursuing personal interests. I have developed a strong interest in environmental issues and plan to combine this with a lifelong desire to explore art and photography. I will also spend more time supporting other volunteer activities that interest me.
If you found this site, you probably know me and what I do. I am always available for occasional, interesting projects working with old friends, previous customers, or referrals.
