What is your background?

Came from 7 years as a firefighter in Minnesota with a background in fire apparatus sales for a large
manufacturer. Folks that know me best know my personal passion/hobby is snow making, no seriously, imagine a ski area making snow…. But in my backyard… yeah. I live for cold nights especially since moving to Asheville North Carolina.
