About Me


I am a 26 year old civil engineer. I am going to be taking my Professional Engineer exam in October, and will hopefully be a PE by next spring.

Jenny and I have been married for 4 years now, even though it doesn't seem like it could have been that long. We have a Beautiful daughter Daphne who is almost 11 months old. She is so much fun. Daphne is so smart, she is learning to like solid food better, and loves green beans.

More and updated pictures can be found on Our Shutterfly account.

I have recently built a smoker and am really getting into BBQing and smoking. I have also built a charcoal maker and have made some charcoal.You can see the progress of my smoker project at Share a Project
