Summary

I"ve been fortunate in that I've been given some nice opportunity's between Grayback and Northwood, I like to think its in part my laid back personality and partially my competitive nature as I utilize that for motivation. I used to buck bales for ranchers in Junior High. When I was 13 i found out I could start working so I went out and got my tractor drivers license so I could got to work for a farmer that was my first paid over the table job and I have been at it ever since.
