I like the challenge of devising an experimental or analytical method of evaluation. It requires creativity. I am continuously thinking and learning because of the diversity of projects. I enjoy producing, analyzing, and interpreting technical data and then publishing a technical report. I do not like meetings.
Meetings are a lot longer than they have to be.
I have found that the use of email is far more efficient to disseminate information and promote discussion on technical subjects. I have two school-aged children engaged in a variety of activities, so I don't do a lot of relaxing. However, I always make time to exercise and read. We enjoy vacations at the beach, swimming, biking, picnics, camping, hiking, and ethnic foods. My heroes are my parents, because they provided me with a sense of self importance, dignity, moral and spiritual values, and direction.
