About Me
I am a retired and living in Maine, about about 5 miles from where I was born. My family has been in the area for nearly 100 years and that makes us new comer around here. I studied agricultural engineering in college and I was a heavy equipment salesman in California for 35 years. When our daughters were teenagers my wife and I brought them to Maine every Winter to go snowmobiling and my wife and I love it here, so here we are.
Astronomy is my hobby, but I got into 3D printing because I buy older telescopes in need of repair and many of the parts are unavailable, so I design and print them. Some of the refurbished scopes I give to the members of our local 4-H Astronomy Club and others I resell to buy more age appropriate telescopes for the club members.
