Hobbies and activities: Engines, Energy Systems, Machinery, Transportation

Inspired by: Growing up in a family that always lacked funding for newer automobiles, I quickly found myself helping my father rebuild the family's old work truck and vehicles. I learned fast and became acutely aware of the various problems that plague aging engines. When I joined the Army (ARNG 88 Mike) I realized the need for longer lasting more reliable prime movers that would be easier to maintain and have a higher degree of efficiency and a lower thermal signature. I set about intensely studying and learning everything I could about all aspects of engine design.
