Throughout the years Don spent time in Arizona, Lusk, Torrington, Jackson Hole and Mesquite Nevada. He settled in Casper full time in 1991.

Don specialized and excelled in Custom home construction and was a Master Craftsman at custom finish work. His exceptional work can be seen from one end of Casper to the other.
