                    | Pilot |  
                  | Aviation has been an interest since my first flight with Dr. 
					Majewski when in high school. This has led to a Commercial, 
					Instrument pilot rating. The aircraft I fly most often is a 
					turbo-charged Cessna TU206. |  |  |  
                  |  | Amateur Radio |  
                  | Amateur radio has been an 
					interest since Mr. Verb Hicks first showed me his old MARS 
					station many years ago. I did not follow through with 
					getting the licenses until much older. The station license is the 
					Amateur Extra with call NM0D. |

					 | Ranch |  
                  | Being raised in an area where 
					outdoors was a big part of life, led to my interest in 
					enjoying nature. We are developing an 
					environmental research preserve. This involves determining the best 
					methods for stewardship of the land. |

                  |  | Research |  
                  | A technical curiosity has 
					spawned an interest in research into how things work. This 
					has led to numerous papers and books. Topics range from 
					technical issues to human relationships to theology. Check 
					out the books. Fortunately this blends well with our 
					business and university activities. |  |  | Commercial

 Wanting
      freedom and financial stability led me to be an independent business owner.
