In 1990 I went to work for Quality Rolls where I started as a laborer and
in a short time was asked if I would be interested in on the job training
as a machinist. I agreed and I am very glad I did as it is a skill that has
served me well over the years.
While working nights with QR I went to gunsmith school during the day and
upon graduating in 2003 went to work for Gander Mountain as a gunsmith
where I took a failing shop in West Mifflin, PA .and made it one of the
most productive in the company. In 2003 GM opened their first big box store
and I was asked to relocate and run the gunsmith shop. I agreed and
relocated to Rochester NY.
