Recent History:
The last year of my life has been convoluted and unpredictable. I'm doing the best I can with everything, though staying positive has been a challenge. I've spent a lot more time at the new gym which has helped; the facilities and 24-hour access are great.
I'm still optimizing Biodiesel reactors (I have more than one now). I've made a small amount of some decent fuel, but with my new reactors, I expect to get higher quality product considerably quicker. This is noted in my blogs from time to time.
My Bio:
I was raised on a cranberry marsh in Central Wisconsin. My family grows berries that become Ocean Spray juice. My favorite things to do in hometown are yet to be discovered.
I've studied at Mobile Dynamics , a technical school in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Following that, I owned a small retail mobile electronics business in Marshfield, Wisconsin. I had a number of great employees - thanks Jason and Randy. We sold car stereos, cell phones, remote starters, and other mobile electronics. I recommend, without reservation, AlumaPro products, as well as Focal speakers and Audison amplifiers.
I left the retail business world to reenter college. I attended the University of Wisconsin - Superior in Superior, Wisconsin. I studied mathematics , physics, and chemistry. I had a great time at UWS and learned far more than I expected to. I tutored, graded, and directed computer-based statistics labs at UWS, all of which was enjoying. In May of 2004, I graduated with Honors.
Superior is just off the end of scenic Lake Superior and is directly across the river from Duluth, Minnesota. Enger Tower, in Duluth, provides a great overlook of the area. The Duluth Lift Bridge in Canal Park is a unique, must-see site as well. My favorite frequent in the area was Beaner's Central ; the staff is great, the coffee is excellent, and the live music is as good as you can get - indoors.
While living in the area, I traveled a bit. I really enjoyed going to Thunder Bay, Ontario . The drive from Duluth to Thunder Bay follows the North Shore of Lake Superior and is a great scenic trip.
Following my graduation from UWS, I moved to Houghton, Michigan , where I attended Michigan Technological University . I was a Graduate Teaching Assistant for the Department of Mathematics and was working on a MS in Statistics. Houghton and the Upper Peninsula is full of natural beauty and history. There's too much to list, but visiting Copper Harbor is worth any distance drive.
Following high school, I studied at the University of Wisconsin - Madison for a year. I was studying in the Farm and Industry Short Course .
Prior to my study at the University of Wisconsin - Superior , I studied for a semester at Mid-State Technical College .
I've also studied at Western Washington University in Bellingham, Washington. I loved living in B'ham. If you get a chance to visit, check out the sculptures on the WWU Campus and the Arboretum by campus.
For a stint, I lived in Lebanon, Oregon, where I taught math at the local high school. I managed to visit the Ocean a few times and thoroughly enjoyed it; these visits are addressed in my blogs.
I've also taught and studied at Western Michigan University . Kalamazoo is a neat town and the people are great; I love Water Street Coffee.

Which OS are You?
You are DNA. You're a smart person, and you appear
incredibly complex to people who don't know
you. You're incomparably full of information,
and most of it is useless.
