My name is Steve, I live in the South suburbs of Chicago, but also have a ranch in Okla. I am now retired but was a construction project manager building multi-million dollar casinos and hotels. I’m an artist who enjoys doing oil paintings, wood carvings, wood art, I design and build custom Queen Anne style furniture, and I am a published writer/author. I enjoy riding motorcycles, breaking and training horses, scuba and snorkeling, sailing, biking, and hiking. I purchased the tools and equipment from the old Blacksmith and Wagon shop from the heir of the last blacksmith we had in my home town.
