Well, where does
one start when you are going to write who you are and where you're from? How 'bout the beginning?
I was born in
a small town in Idaho in the early 70's. My father is an educator who works with gifted children. My mother is an accomplished
artist, was an equestrian, and a cello player to boot. My earliest memories were being surrounded with a vast array of cultural
influences, languages and literature as my father is an English literature teacher as well.
Dad tried to teach
me some Latin when I was little and I would hear him speak some French from time to time. Mom would take me to the library
as often as she could and encouraged me in my artistic talents.
Science and technology always fascinated me,
I guess I inherited that ability from my grandfathers who were very talented engineers and craftsmen. Imagine my parents'
surprise to find that I had taught myself to read when I was only 2 years old!
As I progressed through school,
I was encouraged further in my engineering talents with science fair competitions, from which I received high accolades and
alot of really good experiences. The full details on all that work will be on the Accomplishments page.
Currently,
I live in the Seattle area. I enjoy riding motorcycles, cooking and spending time with my friends here and abroad. I am
currently heavily involved in alternative fuel production both in biodiesel and recently working on biogas and methane production/use
in spark ignition engines.
Well I guess that will sum things up in a nutshell. It barely scratches the surface,
but as the poet said 'still waters run deep'.  |
