About Me

I am a working professional who likes to convince young people that they want to become Engineers. I also love to heavily promote Gaming and Heavy Metal music.What I love truly in life is helping others to find what they REALLY want to do in life. Sure I mention Engineering one too many times, but I am perfectly willing to talk about other fields too.I am disabled and have done so much technical research on it, that it tends to blend with my Engineering talk. Weird, but it works for me.One insult you could never fling at me is to call me Normal.
