- About Me
- Married with adult children. My dad is moving to Salem OR where I live. We plan to hit the flea markets to buy and sell knives. Mostly for fun and to help occupy his time as a retired gentleman.
- Interests
- I am a life long learned and a dream chaser. I want to know more about the knife industry and build a small business to supplement my dad's retirement income while we work and play together. I believe in Grace, forgiveness and second chances.
- Other Hobbies
- I make beaded Jewelry, ride a motorcycle when the weather allows and have learned to play guitar, after completing my Bachelors degree as an adult. I would like to get tooled up and educated about making knives. This has been a dream since I was a child.
