I grew up in Tampa, Florida, got married at 18, moved to Houston, Texas at 21, moved to Milton, Wisconsin in 1990, I taught school as a Reading Specialist for 48 years. I have been involved in woodworking for over 20 years and turning for about 6 years. I also work with stained glass, do upholstery and make furniture. Woodturning has become my obsession and it brings me such happiness.
