I have spent my entire life trying to decide who I am or what I should do to make me the most satisfied. I chose a career as an engineer and that career has been very successful. Yet at the same time I have spent much of my free time dabbling in drawing, painting, music, writing poetry and many half-hearted attempts at writing novels. I have a tendency to write engineering documents that are more "literary" than necessary- and subtle indication of my desire to be a writer. |
I write poetry for fun and desire to write dramatic novels that are based on science and engineering. |
My style of writing leans towards being highly descriptive and emotional, yet technical- right brain fighting left brain. |
My interests cover many areas. I love to read and my reading interests range from science and technology to biographies and historical based fiction. I also ski and hike in the mountains and ride my motorcycle. |
Historical- traditional history as well as history of technology and things that impacted society. Historical based fiction. |

Ask not for whom the bell tolls it tolls for thee; It was the best of times,it was the worst of times; It is a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done; it is a far, far better rest that I go to than I have ever known |
