CURRENT MISSION

Determine whether or not to take a "permanent" job

ABOUT ME

I'm 25 years old and recently moved to Madison, WI to live with my girlfriend and work at Cummins Diesel doing diesel aftertreatment research (we try and make them cleaner). I like my job--as far as jobs go--but am constantly dreaming of traveling and returning to the family farm to work with my dad. One of these days...

PHILOSOPHY

just read some Ayn Rand and that's the jist. I live for myself or at least I used to. The more corporate corruption I see, the more I question the value of these ideals
