My personal background
What am I? I am Complicated. It would take a Novel to explain me. (And I cant find a publisher!!!) Lets see, where to start�. Well, I am Married to the most wonderful and understanding women in the world!!!! I am also a semi-retired IT Professional who has gone from building Hot-Rod PC's to Building mini-choppers to assisting in the running of an outdoor park, and finally tinkering in a sheet metal shop!!! . a bit of a difference from microchips & Hard-Drives –to- Plasma Cutters & Welders –to- Dirt Bikes & Quads –to- Metal Breaks & Sheers!!! I blame it all on a pre-mature mid-life crises!!! Or, as I like to call it, a “quarter-life” crises (seeing as I was only 25 years old). Anyway, I retired from the IT industry due to a major disability resulting from a car wreak in late 2001. (T-Boned by a Tractor-Trailer). Yea, it was fun... It was three months before I could walk. Over two years to regain full use of my right hand/arm. And I spent over six months in speech therapy learning how to talk again. As you can imagine, a good time was had by all (sarcasm dripping from the keyboard) well, in late 2004 I decided to return to part time work building various items in a machine shop that I have access to. I did it to avert the massive boredom that I was suffering and also as a source of additional funding for my other interests. My current hobbies and interests include walking (its amazing what you miss when you cant do it), tinkering with anything electronic, Video Editing, Photography, Automotive Power System, extreme engineering, motorcycle & small engine vehicles including unconventional power plants. I am currently Tinkering around in my Father-In-Laws Sheet metal shop... I find that it helps with keeping me fit and also helps with my cognitive functions... It also helps keep me from being bored out of mind as well as providing me with extra money for Soda & Twinkies!!!

Peace Out!!!


UPDATE - i have now returned to full time IT work in State College, PA
