Nerd-Husband-Father-Son-Friend Overarching goal is to Learn Something New, Every.Single.Day. Doing pretty well with that... I’ve been called a Relentless, Creative, and Pragmatic Applicator of Science, Logic, and Innovation to challenges of consequence. Presently engaged as a Systems Engineer... meaning I get to apply lessons learned from a lifetime full of doing really cool stuff to problems of the day... Naval Architecture, Marine Engineering, Airship Engineering, Operations Research, System Analysis, Bio-Defense, Modeling, Simulation, and Program/Project Management...been there, done some, and picked up a few t-shirts along the way. Perpetually engaged in at least a few of my own DIY projects, but always happy to start a new one, and/or consult on other people’s... Love to cook, anything is fair game... especially fond of Japanese, Korean, Italian, German, and French cuisine. Semi-famous for smoking and/or searing various things on my Big Green Egg, to include all things pork, beef, lamb, and chicken, as well as any venison or waterfowl that I bag. Also love the traditional stove and oven techniques... and aspiring to up my baking game and sous-vide skills. And then there’s the beverages... if it’s not ice water or an espresso-based drink from my super-auto, my glass has usually got a lot of hops and a high ABV, or some form of whiskey in it. But, as the son of an old school bartender, channeling my inner mixologist more and more these days... and liking that muchly. As for cigars? Yes please... tend towards shade grown and medium spicy, and sized to what the available time and distance will allow... Sports? Yea verily... love to watch some and more so to do others... water (sailing, windsurfing, surfing, SUPping) and winter (skiing, boarding, ice climbing) appeal to me most... with hiking and rock climbing for times when neither of those are possible. 🇺🇸
