Born and raised on a small farm in central Indiana where I grew up driving both Dad's and Grandpa's Massey-Harris 44 tractors. Graduated from Purdue University in 1975 with a Mechanical Engineering Degree. Worked for Caterpillar right out of college for 7 years, and have now been with Cummins, Inc. for nearly 30 years, working on Midrange Engines that entire time.

Got bit by the old tractor bug in 1984. Bought back my Grandpa’s 44 from its second owner in 1987, and thus started my Massey Collection which now includes 24 Massey-Harris tractors, 4 MF tractors, and 6 MF LGTs, along with some other equipment and a bunch of toys. Bought back the farm where I grew up and now live there with my wife Marlene. Past President of Massey Collectors Association.
