I have been an amateur radio operator since June 2016 when I received my Technician License. In September of the same year I attained my General License.

My wife of 47-years and I live in our log cabin in Northeast Pennsylvania.

While in Pennsylvania we enjoy cold weather sports which includes but not limited too: Hunting, fishing, cross country skiing and meeting up with our winter friends.

In 2010 my brother and I purchased a log cabin kit from Coventry Log Homes. Along with two friends who spend their summers framing houses; we built the cabin in 40 days. Since that time with the help of my brother and his family, a few close friends along with my wife, we are about 90% finished with the interior of the cabin.

My wife and I have lived all over the United States during my twenty year career with West Marine. Eleven of those years on our former sailboat, Mad Max, a Baba 30 cutter rigged blue water boat. During those eleven years our ports of call were: Seattle, WA., Los Angeles, CA., Annapolis, MD., Fort Pierce, FL., and finally settling in Tiverton Rhode Island.

I have been the owner of unchainedpreppers.com site since 2014 where a host of topics are covered from prepping, politics, to amateur radio operation.

73 & God Bless
