Soldering in the studio

Fargo & Bear on the beach at Bandon, Oregon

Who Am I Anyway?

When I'm not in the studio, I'm usually playing with my two Chinese Sharpei, Fargo & Bear. I also work out at my Mom's ranch ALOT. I have three horses that I always mean to ride and hardly have time to.

I live in Southern Idaho along the Snake River, which is a great place to live 'cause life is so-o slow here. I hope you enjoy this website as much as I've enjoyed creating it....

Cheers, Geri
