Born and raised in Sioux City Iowa. I work for the telephone company as a Communications Technician and I like to run CW, QRP, and digital modes. Home rig is an Icom IC-746 Pro. My QRP / backpack rig is an Elecraft KX-1. My mobile rig is an Icom IC-703 Plus. My FISTS number is 11774. I just started playing with Ham radio Delux software. Love it! Bought a USB/serial interface from Radio Shack and now have full control of the 746 Pro with HRD.
My other hobby is riding my 2008 Kawasaki Vulcan 900 Classic LT and Harley Sportster. I had a 1990 ElectraGlide but traded it for the new Vulcan. I love to pack up the qrp rig and travel in the summer on the bike.
I'm also into contemplative prayer. I love to spend time at a monastery in Iowa, New Melleray Abbey. http://www.newmelleray.org
