Thanks for visiting my little corner of the web. I am continuing to update these pages for 2009. Browsing, content and links should be much improved. The links for "Local Pages" are pages I have created. They contain all things about or related to me. Items like my resume, my interests, projects I have been involved, places I have visited, automobiles I have owned and my small consulting LLC. "Linked Pages" are a list of links I like to visit regularly. Feel free to browse them, as you may find out something new.
These pages are set up to display with a screen resolution of 1024x768 or higher and have been tested on MSIE 7.0, Firefox 3.0.0 & Netscape 8.1.
I am currently living in Sussex, Wisconsin, just northwest of Milwaukee and working for Power Test, Inc. Feel free to contact me if you are in the area and would like to visit. Chicago is only a couple hours away and Milwaukee is just down the road. There is lots to see and do here and I always enjoy having guests.
My contact information is listed on the link to the left. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or comments about this site.
Winter came in full force early this year to the midwest. I think we had around 35 inches of snowfall total before the end of December and many more days below freezing than I care for. I guess Mother Nature is reminding me what a WI winter can be like after a 6 year hiatus. I am keeping busy and settling into my new surroundings. Here is a recap of the last 9 months.
I applied and was accepted to an Intern position with ASME (American Society of Mechanical Engineers). This is a volunteer position for early career engineers to become involved with the governing body of ASME. My intern position started in June nad I will be working with EMCI in the Institues sector reviewing the textbook for their Engineering Managment Certification course.
In April I bought a "new" car. Well, almost new.... its a 2007, its fast and I get a lot of attention driving it around. Alas, with winter here, it is currently hibernating until the snow melts, all the road salt is washed off the roads and spring arrives. See if you can guess what it is! Check my Automobiles page to see it!
At the end of September I changed jobs and moved back closer to home. While I enjoyed both the people and my time at Zoom Technology, I was at a point in life where I needed to make some changes. I came across a great opportunity at Power Test, Inc. in Sussex, WI and spent the last week of September packing, moving and unpacking all my belongings. My new job is going well and I am much close to my family and many friends. Friends from NJ and PA are always welcome to visit, and I hope I will get a chance to visit sooner rather than later.
I joined the Waukesha Toastmaster Club and will be enjoying getting back into giving speeches and being involved in the coming year. The are an old club (50+ years) and are the same caliber as the Camden County Toastmaster club I left in NJ.
I am in the middle of an interesting book by Malcolm Gladwell called "The Tipping Point". It's a fascinating look at the magic moment when and idea, trend or social behavior crosses a threashold, tips, and spreads like wildfire. If you have a chance, pick up a copy.
