    I'm hoping to get a job in the field of thermal hydraulics ~ perhaps fusion research.

    Right now I'm close to finishing a master's in mechanical engineering with a thesis that deals with studying the void fraction of multi-phase flow using a gamma-ray densitometer (Am-241 source). I chose to play Madden all week so here I am doing experiments at 4:43am...

    When I was a kid, me and Johnny Mullen tried to "fuse" two nickels together to make it look like a quarter.

    It didn't work.

    What's a career?

    Been self employed since age 14.

    PAST LIVES:
    Paper Boy
    7-11 Clerk
    Recreation Leader City of Oakland
    Youth Baseball Umpire
    Department Store Clerk
    Software Store Owner
    Sold Tip Sheets at Local Racetracks
    Professional Gambler (short lived)
    News Distributor

    Like the Grateful Dead song, it's been a "Long, Strange Trip". I haven't been hugely successful and any of these ventures, and at times it's been a real struggle (literally down to my last $1.00 a couple of times) but I still wouldn't have traded the independence and freedom to chart my own path for anything.

    I own some rentals, do a little contstruction in the summer to gain experience and keep in shape, and plan on taking care of kids full time eventually after getting married in August. Have a degree in Political Science that I will probably never use, but was worth it since that was where I met my girl...

    Career? Maybe someday...
