 I am very proud to have achieved DXCC Honor Roll on December 20th, 2004 after making my first DX contact on February 15, 1998.

Thanks to all who helped make this dream possible through contacts we have made and friends who have helped along the way. Ham radio has become my outlet to the world because of several health problems that I have.
