A guy who dreams big
Bruce Campbell is a 64-year-old man who, before he retired, worked as an electrical engineer. But he always had big dreams. To begin building his dream, he bought a 10-acre piece of land in the forests of Hillsboro, Oregon.

But when he heard about what someone else had done, his dream got a little bigger!
