| Born in 1968 and raised in the central foothills of California. I met my soon to be wife & best friend while studying Ag Business at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. After school and marriage we moved to Cove, Oregon to farm & ranch and raise a family. It was here that my new neighbors encouraged me to petition Cove Lodge. At that time I discovered my family lineage was full of Masons. I have thoroughly enjoyed my involvement in Cove Lodge and the Craft ever since. After a few years of farming and many hard knocks we decided to down size the farm. A new door opened, and I began selling insurance with my father who had also moved up to the La Grande area shortly after my wife and I did. I have now been in the insurance business for 9 years. I am slowly taking over the management of the business while my father eases into retirement. My wife and I have two wonderful boys Harris and Andrew, and a small farm outside of La Grande. While I love to forge and work steel in my off time my wife manages both a farm flock of sheep and a small wool design business. | |
