I'm 44 and happily married, living just outside of Cleveland, OH. Professionally, I'm a mechanical engineer. In my current position at a large controls company, I develop alternative energy projects (biomass, solar, landfill gas recovery, etc). In the past have done all sorts of energy conservation work, mostly on commercial and institutional buildings. I'm an amateur glassblower, a frequent traveler for both work and play, a home-owner and an avid party-thrower.
