1. First name: Steve
2. Age: 48
3. Occupation: Photographer, lake trout/pike guide, handyman/tree service. That's right now, anyway. Spent 15 years in newspapers as a reporter, editor, photographer and page designer. Worked in a gold mine in Colorado, drove Taxi, canvassed neighborhoods on environmental issues around Minneapolis and Duluth, Minn., wrote and published a book. It's been a long and somewhat goofy working career.
4. Hobbies: I've turned my hobbies into my three ways to make my current living. Add hunting to the list.
5. Truck: 1985 Chevy Silverado 4x4, 60,000 on rebuilt 305 and tranny, new rubber, new 4x4.
6. Family: Spouse Lisa. My son, Ian (graduating law school this summer). My daughters, Tess and Heather (Heather's making me a grandpa in about a month, and Tess badly WANTS to). Lisa's daughters Jen and Jaime.
7. Saws: In my sig!
8. Furnace/stove: An old unnamed wood furnace with its own fan/thermostat and ductwork routed into the plenum of our propane furnace. Takes a lot of 22-inch wood to fill.
9. Pets: Dog Maggie (looks just like "Honey, I shrunk the golden retriever.") Wife's Siamese cats Solomon and Shamar.

1- Marv
2- 52
3- Foreman for a Twin City tree company.
4- Hobbies- Shooting, reloading, snowshoeing, fishing musky in the summer and ice
fishing northern in the winter. If it is held outside I am pretty much game.
5- 1973 International 1 ton pickup. Best wood hauler I ever owned. I like to pull stumps
out with it in my spare time. Proudest moment I had was a loop around the metrodome with two cord of wood on it’s back. The Hooker Headers were really barking that day.
6- I have been married for 20 years. My wife is my best friend. We hunt, fish, and cut-wood together. She doesn’t drink so she is my personal designated driver. She can out grill, out track and probably out pull most men! (Maybe I should of skipped that last comment.)
7- I have or have had the oppritunity to run just about every Stihl chainsaw made. Not many I don’t like. For up in the air work, it is my trusty 020 T. For ground pounding I like the 036. Whacking off a stump an o88 feels pretty good in the hands. The 084 is nice for limbing. I don’t need to bend over much for stuff on the ground, and I can reach fairly high for stuff over my head.
8- We have a natural gas furnace for our back up heat.( I can’t remember the last time it kicked on). I pretty much stuff the Old Timer stove all winter long. Many January and February evenings we sit by the wood stove in our underwear with the door to the outside wide open. A couple of our neighbors said we were plumb nuts. Could be I suppose.
9- Pet- One chocolate lab named Willy. He is 85 pounds and thinks he’s a lap dog. He is about the best dog a person could have ever wanted. Being we don’t have kids Willy fills a void. I am not sure how many toys a dog is suppose to have but by a bushel basket count he has three. The only friends Willy doesn’t have are the ones he hasn’t met yet.
