Husband and father of two wonderful kids that believes in karma and paying it forward. After working as an environmental engineer and HS chemistry teacher, I'm on my third career as the chemistry department manager at the best university in the world...University of Wisconsin. Certified in asbestos inspections, smoke stack opacity, underground storage tank removal, swim coaching, lifeguarding, secondary education, windsurfing, light keelboat, and CPR. Not only do I have a bucket list, I'm checking them off!

Músicas, Filmes e Livros

Jimmy Buffett fan since you could buy tickets at the walk-up window. Add DMB and Mumford & Sons to my all-time play list and I'm set. Movies=anything in the 80's. More of a short story/magazine guy, but the Douglas Adams trilogy is my favorite.

Uma Coisa Incrível que Eu Fiz

Completed an Ironman race well past my prime.
