Greetings and welcome!
I am just your typical tree-hugging, flywheel-building, EV-lovin' bicycle-nut.
I'm right around my one-year anniversary as a Wikipedia editor as of November, 2007. I guess it's about time I set up a real user page. If anyone can help me out with this project, please post a note on my discussion page. Thanks!

[edit] About Me
I am forty-something.
I am married with a daughter and a son.
I live in Santa Clarita, CA
I am currently driving to work, but I am trying to build up an electric bicycle to cover the distance in the same amount of time, while keeping me fit and putting fewer Greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.
I wrote a science fiction novel, which was fun to do, but I have not really tried to get it published because that seems too much like work.
I recently tried to get a bicycle import business going, but I gave up on it because I wanted to spend more time with my kids.
I write for EVWorld when I have time, but see my previous note about spending time with my kids.
I would love to hear from any of you who feel as though you have something worthwhile to say to me.
[edit] Professional Life
I am an engineer working at Pentadyne Power Corporation in Chatsworth, CA. Pentadyne develops flywheel-based energy storage devices.
From 1998 to 2007 (with two short breaks), I worked for AeroVironment in Monrovia, CA and Simi Valley, CA.
Prior to receiving my engineering degree, I worked primarily in the bicycle industry selling, building and distributing bicycles and associated products. I worked for Moots Cycles, Fuji Bicycles and several bicycle shops. I also built some frames on my own.
