My background: Engineering, making things, and having an adventurous spirit are common traits of my family. My ancestors were involved in ship building, were early American 1700's settlers, building barns for farms and structures for religious worship, writing math books in the 1800's, mining, apiculture (beekeeping), Ford Model-T engine repairs at age 10, airplane repair for the US Airforce during WWII, building NACA&NASA rockets for early manned flights to earth orbit and the moon, early computer science programming in Assembly, and early software development of airline ticketing and cargo systems for Eastern and TWA.

My youth: While some of my ancestors did apiculture, I created hybrid garden plants. My experiments with garden plants resulted in a weird eggplant that grew a new vine out of each flower center, instead of a normal flower center.

My career: I am a skilled Tech and am known by my co-workers for my excellent work ethic with humorous wit. My Tech skills include computer build & repair, and programming in {Full Stack Dev, Mainframe Development, Batch Processing & Automation, Functional Programming}. I am also skilled at carpentry, house repair, making things, and quality control.
