Carpenter and website developer. Amateur photographer. I have lived in several western states working on guest and cattle ranches. My profile picture is of my red and white boarder collie, Partner, who helped me on a Montana cattle ranch. I was the Vermont greenhorn. When I came back to Vermont to do carpentry Partner kept busy with squirrel chasing. He died in 2002.
