Well i'm 65 years old I have a day job managing woodlots all over northern Michigan. I love working with landowners to cater with their goals and objectives on their property. I work my online business after my day job and enjoy surfing and corresponding with fellow marketers. As always can't wait for summer to ride my Harley and do some fishing.
