My wife and I are the owners of Little Dumplings Early Learning Center in Oconomowoc,Wisconsin. This daycare is a state licensed center with a capacity of 164 children from the age of 6 months to 12 years of age.. I help with many of the day to day operations at Little Dumplings. The kids all know me as Mr. C (the fix it man.) I also take care of the maintenance, safety and upkeep of the daycare building.

Since I first saw The Beatles on the Ed Sullivan show in 1964, I knew I wanted to play guitar. I have been in many different bands since my junior high school days most notably, The Time Pieces for 7 years and Skyrock for 13 years . I play both 6 and 12 string guitars. Along with playing lead and rhythm guitar, I also enjoy singing whether it be lead or harmony vocals. A good song is a good song no matter from what era or time frame it is from, but, I do enjoy the 1960's music the most.

My first day of employment on September 7th, 1971 was at Carnation Can Company which was later sold and bought by Silgan Containers in the late 1980's. Silgan is a national manufacturer of many different types of food and beverage containers. The Silgan plant in Oconomowoc is a manufacturer of steel food containers. My duties for the first 38 years of my employment was the operation, quality assurance and maintenance of can manufacturing equipment. For the last 6 plus years at Silgan, I have been the parts room attendant with the responsibility of ordering, distribution and stocking of the necessary items related to can manufacturing. Also my duties are to see that items relating to safety are maintained and kept in a safe working order. (Update) After 44.8 years, I am now retired from Silgan Containers as of April 30th, 2016
