About Me

After high school, I spent a year having fun at college but not getting anywhere. Afterward, I spent 2 years as a missionary in Italy. I married my college sweetheart in 2000 and went back to school, studying mechanical engineering. We currently have two children, a boy and a girl. I work as a design engineer at a local aerospace company. It's not rocket science? Actually, it is. Oh, and I built a website detailing my MGB conversion to V8 power, its at this site .
