Like many of my fellow Gen. Xers, I haven't followed a straight forward career path. From neuroscience research technician, to engineering technologist, to concrete artisan, it's been a strange ride indeed.Currently, my attention continues to focus upon issues of environmental sustainability, alternative energy adoption and energy conservation. From this vantage point, in addition to other avenues, it is my goal to raise awareness of energy sustainability challenges and to explore how to work toward solutions to some of these challenges.
