After graduation, I pursued a modeling career for 4 years. Got married in 1974. Moved to Washington in 1979. We owned a business for 13 years. We have 4 kids, 2 girls and 2 boys. Youngest daughter (21) still living at home. For the last 14 years, I've been working at a fascinating job (retail) helping people create Certified Backyard Habitats and learn about identifying birds and their behavior and the bird feeding hobby.
