Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

patent agent. I have people skills. Engineers are not good at dealing with people, so I physically carry the specs from the engineers to the lawyers. Or their fax.

Full time student (will be 39 this summer). Father of two kids, a girl 9 and a son 3. My son has autism so he's pretty much a full time job!

Used to be in the air force and worked as a civilian for a couple of airlines as a mechanic. Hoping to be a teacher soon.

Retired enforcer of military rules and regulations, former collector and packer of bodily fluids used for illegal substance testing, and now engineer, trainer, and facilitator of the collection of methods for uniquely recognizing humans based upon one or more intrinsic physical or behavioral traits.

In other words, I’m currently working with the Army and other agencies in Afghanistan to collect biometric evidence on personnel who have or may have conducted some sort of violent act against US and Coalition forces personnel here. The only real drawback to this job is the lack of space to ride, which is limiting me to a stationary gym bike when I can get on it.
