Hi I'm Hank also know as Highway Hank and also Fotofreddie.
My home is upstate New York, but I also spend a lot of time in Germany.
I'm a retired truck owner driver. Retired because of back and hip injuries. I ran my little trucking company in a partnership with my mom. I still own my well known 1981 Kenworth K-100C VIT Aerodyne. My truck is known around the world as "Hank's Highway Hilton" My website about my truck can be found @ www.highway-hank.de Ever since I was a little boy, I wanted to be a trucker and that's what I did until I got hurt. I used to drive all over the US. I also had the opportunity to go on 2 International Show Truck Tours all over Northern and Eastern Europe in 1992 and 1993. Also in 1995 and 1996 I had the opportunity to drive a big Mack show truck in Germany and northern Europe for the German electronics chain Media Markt.. Besides trucking and truck shows, my next biggest activity is photography. I have always liked taking pictures, and that's how I got my nickname Fotofreddie. I used to take so many pictures, that my young German friends started calling me "Fotofreddie"
Besides my trucking activities, I have also liked serving my community. I'm a 35 plus year member of my local fire department. But because of my injuries I have been reassigned to non physical strenuous duties. I was also a member of our local volunteer ambulance corp. until a sneaky paid ambulance service along with dirty politics got them shut down. I am also a member of our local Kiwanis club. I am also an honorary member of the Emden Germany Fire Department, City Center Station.
In the summer of 2006 I got a new computer which had Windows Movie Maker and also finally a DSL connection and since than I've been posting videos on Youtube. In the fall of 2006 I finally got my first two digital cameras with video feature, and started making my own videos. I had planned on dividing my video making time between my fire department and my skater and other young friends, and opened two accounts for this on YouTube, fotofreddiefirevids and fotofreddiesk8vids. I no sooner got started with my fire action videos and my fire department's hierarchy let me know of their displeasure of my video activities. So I now spent all my free time making sk8er videos, including 5 videos of German Sk8ers that I met on a recent visit to Germany. As I keep making videos, they keep getting better. In February 2007 I finally got my system to transfer my old analog videos to digital up and running. I have over 30 hours of videos of Trucking in America and from my 2 Euro Tours, which I ma now slowly transferring. I opened this account for all my trucking videos. I will be uploading them here as I get the chance to transfer them to digital and rework them in my Movie Maker.
Because of my trucking, photo and internet activities I have friends all over the world, but mostly in Germany and northern Europe along with here in the US.
