Currently homesteading on my small hobby/tree farm in rural Iowa. I grew up hunting and fishing with my Dad and Uncle. Went to motorcycle mechanics school back in the mid-nineties. I Did a brief stint in the Army, and a brief stint at the local community collage. I work as a small engine mechanic & have had a FFL for about 13 years now. I do a little custom rifle & pistol work and some repair work for a few local gunshops. I'm also a NRA Certified Pistol Instructor. I'm into pretty much anything that goes bang, traditional-archery, knives, swords, hunting, fishing, antique machine tools, etc...
