I would describe myself as an Atheist, engineer, environmentalist, political junkie, NPR listener, C-SPAN watcher, reader of The Nation, amateur mechanic, and audiophile. I was born in 1955 and have earned BSEE and MSEE degrees from Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio. I do board level electronic circuit design for a living. I like to say that I was raised in a very Republican household, but I got over that ;-)
