Hi all and thank you! I'm honored and it's nice to be part of the ArrowHeads.com family. As for the bio here goes. My wife and I got married at 19 and I lucked into a woman that has put up with my OCD and hoarding! LOL She's wonderful and we have a son and two daughters. I have to say I'm blessed with good kids which are really all adults now but it's hard to think of them that way.
I've worn a lot of hats career wise. I started out working in steel fabrication running assorted steel presses, fork lifts, welding and running a crane. After several years of that I decided I wanted to be outside so I started working in construction building houses. Ten years of that lead me into a sales position for a remodeling company for another twenty. Now I sell Fords and Lincolns. I enjoy my job but my hearts still in construction. Maybe I'll get back on the road someday?
I got into collecting as a kid. My friends and I grew up outdoors hunting and fishing so collecting rocks and arrowheads just came natural. I saved all kinds of other stuff too from baseball cards, stickers, toys and the list goes on. I was really lucky because the plowed fields in my neighbors back yards and the near by creek were full of artifacts. I wish I still had everything I found but an old girl friend decided she liked them too so I'm happy to still have any of them. I also wish I had taken it a bit more seriously. I drive by the old neighborhood looking for a plowed back yard but folks just don't grow gardens like they use to and I've had no luck. Now days I kick dirt every time I get a chance and my wife and I like to go junking. You never know what you will find and that makes it fun.
Thanks again,
Von
