I QUIT AT CERTIFIED AFTER 10 YEARS OF SERVICE.WE LOADED UP THE TRUCKS LEFT SHELTON AND MOVED NORTH TO THE SEATTLE AREA FOR WORK.WE STILL LIVE IN THE SAME HOUSE IN FEDERAL WAY THAT WE RAISED OUR KIDS IN AND WE PLAN ON STAYING THERE WHEN I RETIRE.I HAVE BEEN AN AEROSPACE MACHINIST FOR 33 YEARS.TAMMY AND I SPEND AS MUCH TIME AS POSSIBLE WITH OUR 3 GRANDCHILDREN. WE ARE BLESSED WITH BOTH OUR SON INLAW AND DAUGHTER INLAW WHO WE ENJOY SPENDING AS MUCH TIME WITH AS OUR OWN 2 KIDS.MY HOBBIES ARE SIMPLE THEY INCLUDE REMODELING,TILE AND CONCRETE, CONSTRUCTION WORK AND PLAYING GOLF WITH BOTH MY SON AND MY SON INLAW.MY FAVORITE PLACE TO RELAX WITH TAMMY IS CANNON BEACH.RAIN OR SHINE ITS ALWAYS A GOOD TIME.
