About the seller:

Thank you for stopping by to read a bit more about me. I am a retired Disabled Navy veteran.  I served 20 years to our great nation, after service, I found myself searching for hobbies to help me cope with post navy service and occupy so of my free time.  I am an upcoming wood worker and recently got into growing figs and other fruit trees. Both hobbies help my mental health (My “ME TIME”) and help fund each other.

I recently started using my wood shop CNC and laser machines to make metal tags to keep inventory of some fresh cut wood to dry and label it with the wood species and cut date. It was not long after that the light bulb went off and I figured I can make them to label my plants as well.  Up to now, I had been using white vinyl labels and had to keep replacing as the sun made them too brittle and kept braking off.   

I now call Northern Alabama home and live here with my wife of 24 years, twin daughters and until recently my son, who Joined the navy in 2021 and followed my footsteps is forging his own path.

Thank you so much for reading about me and supporting my hobbies.
