I'm a technical writer for Trimble Navigation, Westminster, Colorado. I enjoy working with our dogs, birding, photography, writing, reading, flower gardening, designing jewelry, snowshoeing, golfing, and muscle cars. Together we enjoy traveling, camping, hiking, and having fun with family, friends, and all of our critters.
Here's Marty with the 29-1/2" walleye pike that he caught in May 1998 (while lake fishing, NOT fly fishing!)
