We moved from Michigan to Salt Lake City in the Spring of 2000.  Kent had accepted a new position with Liquitek Enterprises, Inc. of Draper, Utah and served as the president of two subsidiaries of the company.  Unfortunately, however, the anticipated funding for the company did not materialize and so one subsidiary had to be sold and the other returned to its former owners.

As things turned out, though, a major development effort had just been completed for the GearMaster and Kent is now devoting his full time to bringing the GearMaster to market.  For further details on this neat new device, please visit www.gearmaster.com. 

We finally sold our house in Michigan and, after a little more than a year in an apartment in Draper, Utah, we found a new place in Eagle Mountain, about 25 miles southwest of Salt Lake City.  We have a 5 1/2 acre ranchette and enjoy the feeling of being out in the country again. With our very dry climate and desert environment, we miss the lush vegetation of Michigan, but feel compensated by spectacular views of mountains in every direction. Of course, we hope to keep up with all our friends from Michigan and elsewhere.  Please give us a call, an email, a fax or write us as shown above.  Better yet, come see us.  We'd love to show you around.

  Jaedin was born in December of 1998 with a serious heart defect known as Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome (HLHS).  He has been through four open heart surgeries and we are now hoping for a fairly normal life.  We are so grateful for the recent advances in medicine that have allowed him to live.
