A front view of my house, located in the rural area of Athens Texas, sitting on five acres.

I currently reside in Athens Texas, which is located in East Texas, about 80 miles from Dallas. I have lived here for the past eight years, enjoying the Texas sunshine, the Texas spirit, and the thriving medical industries. Prior to Texas, I lived and worked in Massachusetts and New Hampshire, where I started out in the medical extrusion business.
 
This page on my Medical Extrusion Site is dedicated to my personal side, including my hobbies and interests. I've always figured that all work without any hobbies or interests makes for a boring life and an early grave. My hobbies include writing poetry, writing science fiction stories, woodworking, electronics, vegetable gardening, and computer graphics.

I also enjoy making home improvements, such as building decks and remodelling just about every room in my house.
 
To fullfill my woodworking hobby, I built a work shed in the back yard... Unlike New England, most houses in Texas do not have basements.

Some of my poetry relates to science fiction, which is unique within poetry standards. I may never become a great poet, like Robert Frost, but I find writing to be very relaxing and self-rewarding. On this page I've included a few of my poems and a link to my potery page.

Ode To Engineers

A world of contraptions for man,
miracles fashioned from visions.
Complex thoughts conjure up a plan,
sparking a wizard of detailed notions.

Technical maps of mental images,
are promptly converted to blueprints.
Prototypes are fabricated for analysis,
creating the first of many footprints.

With the pulse of electrical power,
or a simple manual stroke of a hand.
These wondrous devices lessen labor,
freeing time for a life more grand.

With a spin of their imagination,
they are the innovation of futurism.
For that, which was science fiction,
has been transformed to realism.

      The Card Of Gold
 
Behold the card of gold,
a story that must be told.
For he was not too old,
when he happily enrolled,
to own a card of gold.

His selfish desires overflowed,
as he paid the lowest owed.
His max limit increased fivefold,
and the interest grew like mold,
which only the fine print foretold.

Now he hates his card of gold,
cause he will pay until he’s old.
Behold the fool’s blindfold,
for it is a card of gold,
a story that must be told.

I also enjoy computer graphics, such as altering pictures for fun, or creating unusual pictures, and snapping pictures with my digital camera.
