Goddaughter: Jessey http://www.jesseyhome.com

Myers Briggs: I have taken the Myers Briggs test five times (uyk) and came out: ISTP (two times) - INTP (three times).  The IT&P are pretty much pegged at the ends but the S/N is about dead middle, which is why it goes back and forth.

Sign: Gemini (which of course is why the Myers Briggs make sense :-)

Brief Bio:
Father was in the Army thus I moved a good deal as a child. I attended 19 different schools before graduating from high school. Lived in Germany in while in the first grade and in Alaska for almost four years, which included the great Alaskan Earthquake (9.2 on the Richter Scale).  We moved back to St. Petersburg, where I finished the 11th and 12th grades.  I continued to live in Florida, moving to Orlando to attend college and stayed there until 1996 when I moved to the Northern Virginia area. Attended Florida Technological University (later renamed University of Central Florida by a group of really boring regents....) and the Technical Education Center in the St. Petersburg, FL area.

What I do for a living:  I started out as an Electronic Engineer, moved to Systems Engineering then to program management to R&D management and eventually to the 'front office' as an 'executive'.  My area of expertise is modeling and simulation, mostly for training and for the design/development/fielding of new systems (such as cars, aircraft, etc.).  Retired in Sept 2004.  Currently unemployed, probably go back to work at some point :-)

What I do for fun: Travel and digital photography.  I did buy a piano a few years back and started to learn to play but there just wasn't enough time in a day to give it the time it needs.  Maybe now that I'm retired.... Did I mention travel?  My goal is to spend the night in all fifty states (9 to go) and on all seven continents (2 to go)
