Hello everyone! I’m from Western New York. My experience with lawn equipment spans back to when I was 12, and I’ve been maintaining and repairing it ever since to care for my 3.5-acre property. This involves everything from mowing and trimming to raking and snow blowing. Professionally, I’m the Plant Manager of a solution mining facility, which builds on my background in managing complex operations and maintenance. My career has included work on jet engines and overseeing operations in manufacturing and power plant environments, giving me a solid foundation in instrumentation and controls, as well as high voltage electrical systems. I also bring a practical approach to my gardening, utilizing yard trimmings for composting. In my free time, I enjoy the precision of slot car racing and remote control cars, alongside staying active through cycling, yoga, and daily exercise. I’m looking forward to sharing my experiences and learning from the diverse knowledge within this forum!
