My Story

After 30+ years as a computer programmer, I wanted to do something else. A former Scoutmaster, avid hiker, and woodworker, I love doing all of these.

In late 2018, I bought a CNC machine and started learning how to use it. God then decided to make it a little more interesting - on March 18, 2019, I had a couple of strokes. Good thing that a long time ago, I told God that I trusted him, and I'd hang on for the ride!

After learning how to walk and talk again (and I'm still working on it), about mid-July 2019 I made it my goal to make plaques for my Eagle Scouts and Assistants by Thanksgiving 2019. Gratefully, I made it on time.

I keep learning and experimenting with my CNC and with life. Today, I enjoy making custom items for sale as the owner of Coyote Matters. Better yet, I still have all my fingers!

My long-term goal is to take an extended bike ride across the country, seeing sites anew.
