About Me

Who am I? I have to assume you’re wondering that, since you’ve bothered to click on this link. It is not a question that can be answered easily, for I myself ask that question often, I still havn’t figured it out.

So. I’m an engineer (Mechanical). I enjoy fixing things, and if it doesn’t need fixing, there’s usually a way to improve it. As my wife puts it, I have too many hobbies…I look forward to what I expect will be a very busy, very active retirement someday! In the meantime, I try to find time to enjoy mountain biking, roller blading, landscaping, car modifications, autocrossing my Lotus Elise, camping, driving for fun, reading, playing with Photoshop, various projects around the house, drinking coffee, enjoying wine, etc…!
