I am an older gentleman living with my wife, 13 year old step-daughter, and her two cats. My wife is the love of my life and spending time with her and my step-daughter is the joy of my life (the cats not so much!).I have worked many different jobs in my life. I have worked as a machinist, bicycle builder, and soldier to name a few.Hobbies include cycling, camping, model building, book reading, schrimshaw art, pen and ink art. I also collect old fountain pens, slide rules, and calculators. I am semi-retired and make fountain pens for fun.
