I grew up in Memphis, Tennessee. Elvis looked just fine the last time I saw him - really. It was a sign. In late 1982, my wife, Sharyn, and I moved to Oxford. I read a lot and watch good movies.
History is a major interest.
I really like rafting, canoeing, and COPE courses. Philosophy I have always liked science and technology. Being an engineer allows one to participate in the realm of discovery and invention, and have a paycheck. After, sixteen years in education, I also much more appreciate the human dimension. As a graduate student, I saw that my fellow chemical engineering students were a really first-rate group of people.
