Section name
I'm an HO scale modeler of Southern/Norfolk Southern Railway, from the period of 1975 to the present. I built my first layout in 1997, with help from my late grandfather. I enjoy fishing in the Big South Fork of the Cumberland River at Stearns. I also enjoy "train watching" and taking videos and photos of the operations of the Kentucky Division of Norfolk Southern between Somerset, Ky., and Oakdale, Tn.
I enjoyed golfing up until I lost my foot and ankle to an amputation in 2023. I enjoy watching The Masters every spring and rooting for Scottie Scheffler and Jon Rahm.
I like to go camping in the early autumn and spring each year, preferably in the Big South Fork NRRA.
