@Ron Ward oh I see.. wow.. that must of been devastating. So when you moved to Alaska you were already married..and your family went with you?

Well, I do post a lot on the PSB text chat (under a different nick), but this time, I felt it was important enough to go on-air.

Just my wife and I

Kids were grown and gone

@Vigilator Well try and get their attention in YT.. that is all I can think of.. or send them a DM here in Discord.

ohhh ok @Ron Ward what a change for you

I loved it

So you went to work for your wife's family at that point?

No way...I fished one year on another boat than started working on the slope

ohhh ok

what does that mean working on the slope? What did you do?

Just to say I did it

Northslope Alaska, oil fields and mining

oh I see.. ok.

sorry I ask so many questions lol

😂

I was a heavy equipment operator

Did you have any experience with that.. or did you go in and train and work your way up?

I've run equipment since I was a little kud

i really admire you .. you know that? Going from one career.. to something totally different.. to entire new place to live.. Most people would be scared to take that challenge on

It was my playtime and getting paid well

And you were in the most beautiful place

Indeed

So then after you worked on the slope.. what came next..

is that when you were injured?

The neurologist told me to find another climate

oh the cold wasn't good for your back..?

So we came to Central Oregon closer the three kids

Wow

And now you love what you do..and where you live...and you are close to your kids.

My sister in Seattle asks me when am I coming home...never

awww lol

do you have a good relationship with her?

I don't even go to Seahawks games anymore

Brb

Back
