Bio:
I am a Mechanical Engineer, working for Agilent Technologies in Santa Rosa, CA. I recently relocated BACK to Santa Rosa, my home town, after spending most of the 90's in the Los Angeles area. I went to school at UC Irvine where I majored in the sport of crew (Olympic rowing), but somehow managed to get my degree in Mechanical Engineering! (^; I love the outdoors, especially mountain biking, backpacking, and whitewater kayaking & rafting. Rowing is still my favorite way to stay in shape though... and if I win the lotto, I'll quit my job and train for the Olympics.... and buy lots of HT gear, of course. :^)
