Not much to say about me except that I have 3 kids, Archimedes Tyberius, Aika Dawn and Andromyda Kol Rainier. I love fishing, hunting, America and old trucks. I love to learn and hear about interesting things. I guess I should also say that I am a Mechanical Engineer. I work full time but I also have a consulting company that I run on the side - I'd like to transition that into full time. Anyway if you have any questions feel free to ask away. Thanks Spartan
