About Me

I was born and raised in the Marysville/Arlington area. Lived and worked on a farm most of my early years...so I'm a country boy at heart. Graduated from Marysville-Pilchuck High school in Marysville, Wa. in 1979. Met my wife Cindy in 1980 and moved to Spanaway, Wa. where we lived for several years. We have been living in Graham, Wa. for the past 14 years. We have been happily married for 27 years and have 3 grown kids and 3 granddaughters, and 1 grandson.
I love to go fishing & camping, and just spend time with the family. I also like to smoke fish and make beef jerky. I enjoy playing on the computer and working on my website and my myspace page. I love to play horseshoes, we even take horseshoes camping with us. I love working in the yard, garden and working with tools and working out of my garage.
I'm currently not working due to a back injury in 1987. I've had 4 back surgeries since then, the 4th surgery was a spinal cage fusion, and once again, I have been unable to work the past few months because of back problems and a serious nerve problem in my legs. Hopefully that will change soon. I really miss my last job as a sales Rep for Uni-Select.
I have a Website called,FISHING IN THE NORTHWEST Check it out if you like fishing. I have over 492 pages of info and pictures, and over 2000 fishing related websites to visit. Also up to date fishing reports for Idaho, Oregon & Washington, boating and camping info and much more. I have an online store where you can order fishing, boating & camping accessories online. I use AIM & windows live (MSN), my screen name is rick91360 on both.
