Alright, alright. I guess since there are a bunch of other nerd jobs listed here I can share mine.

I am the senior research engineer for Spraying Systems Co. We manufacture nozzles used in industry and agriculture. We also do much of the system control for the headers and pumps, etc., etc. ad nauseum. I am in charge of our labs, the 7 lab techs, a machinist and two other engineers. I have a masters in Mechanical/Aerospace engineering with a specialization in fluid mechanics. I use our equipment to optimize and measure spray characteristics. I have a few lasers I use to measure drop size and drop velocities. Never, ever look into the laser with your good eye.

I did 4 years in the Navy at NAS Lemoore, Ca fixing F/A-18's as an Aviation Electrician. Yes, I joined the Navy to see the world and got see IL, TN, CA, NV and AZ. Woo Hoo! What a tour! Cool job but I went in to pay for college so got out and spent about 8-1/2 years in college. Supported myself then by bartending and/or working as a parts driver/counterman at a Lincoln-Mercury dealership. I think I liked the bartending better.

I've always wrrenched on things: cars, bikes, whatever. This is the coolest bike I think I've ever worked on and rode. Other than that I READ, homebrew, golf and whatever else seems to catch my fancy at the time.

OK, now that I have my profile in place I am sure I am just going to have to keep the women at bay.
