About

I moved to Virginia in 1986 from Grafton West Virginia with my wife and daughter for a one year move. Now 24 years later I am still here with my wife, daughter, son, and daughter's dog and fiancee. Started my own business in '88. A & M Quality Carpentry Inc. If you leave out the quality, we will too. In the years of being here I have worked with the Girl Scouts with my daughter and wife and the boy scouts with my son and wife. I was William's scout master for 3 years. I earned my black belt in ju-jitsu a few years back. Then I kicked some Army boys asses at a bachelor party for my at the time soon to be nephew in law. After I got the black belt Evelyn talked me into getting my ear pierced. So I rode my Harley down to Bristol where my money went to school and we got out ears pierced. Project '37: I started resorting an old '37 Chevy Town Sedan when Evelyn was in Kindergarten. She's now 24 years old and I'm starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. I think by the time her daughter starts Kindergarten who's only a twinkle in her eye I should be complete. Alice and I have gotten into traveling a lot in the past years since Evelyn has graduated from college and William has graduated from High School. Mostly we like to take the Harley. Yea Alice rides on the back. We went to Nova Scotia in 08. 3300 miles on the Harley. This year we did the Finger Lakes of Niagara Falls. We have also went to Scotland with William's HS band for an Easter Parade. And we all went on a Spring Break trip to Germany to visit some family and see the country. To celebrate the graduations we took a cruise to Alaska.
