The last 28 years I have been servicing, repairing, and selling motion picture projection and sound equipment, as well as other cinema products and supplies. I travel 9 western states, Hawaii, Guam, and Mexico.
I am preparing to retire the end of this year! I have two secondary trades, I am a licensed Masonry Contractor, (Taught to me by my Father) and a licensed Electrical Contractor. Aside from work, I am an avid collector of early motion picture equipment and am currently working on starting a museum in Boise, ID. Amongst my 20+ vintage Dodges, I also restore and use WW2 and later radio equipment. ( I have been an ametuer radio operator since I was 11 years old) I was raised at north Lake Tahoe, in Cal. And in the 1980s I shared a fleet of 6 69-71 Dodge W300 & W500 wreckers with my ex-brother in law in Placerville, Cal.. I now live in south central Idaho, with plenty of great off road fun nearby!! I have been on the road for so long, my retirement is going to consist of driving truck for a local LTL carrier with weekly trips to MT and CA. and will be home every Wed. & weekend!! So, I should actually have more time to work on the power wagons!!!
