Born and raised in a small town in Oregon, just down the road from Salem. Did some time in the Air Force in the early 70's. Worked building homes in the early days. Got a job for Technicolor in California that lasted 14 years and got to experience 2 major quakes. Loma Prieta in 89 then the Northridge in 94. Just lucky I guess. Found the Burnelli story in 2006 and have pursued history, new designs and support every since. Moved to Texas in 2007. Man, it can get hot here. Retired in 2013. Having some fun sharing the Burnelli designs and working with others who find them worth the time.
