I am a Civil War Living Historian. I have been a member of the Richmond Howitzers Artillery and Reenactor for over seven years. I enjoy portraying a private in the Army of Northern Virginia. I also surf. Started in 1969. I have an Art Degree from San Francisco State University. Emphasis was Photography. focus was photography as a fine art. I have bred and raised Jack Russell Terriers since1995. I currently own two females, and have had up to six Jack Russells at one time. I am an authority on who should have one and who should not. They require lots of attention and need to run at least once a day. I have a collection of Civil War era antique tools that I help the public realize how difficult life was in the 1860's. I demonstrate how tools were used and help identify the many variations of particular tools. Lastly, I am a home improvement, repair person. I am familiar with all types of construction and repair. proper technique and the correct tools is how you get things done right and customer happy. Since 1990.
