Started when I was 7. Stole (borrowed) my dads "Modern Refrigeration" book. I was fascinated by all those pictures with the red and blue lines going everywhere. Started helping a neighbor fix window units in his garage (well really I washed them out in the driveway). But, it set the wheels in motion. I'm 49 now so 49 - 7 = 42. I haven't done it full-time for 42 years though. Spent 4 years in the Air Force, 5 years in college and 5 years as a materials science engineer for a manufacturing company (we made graphite).
I mostly consult now but I keep my licenses current and still like to turn a wrench when I get a chance.
The picture in my avatar is of the Houston Ship Channel and was taken from my backyard. I like to sit outside and slap mosquitos while watching countless supertankers, barges and cargo ships of every shape and size carry all sorts of deadly toxins to and fro. It's really beautiful at times.....just don't eat the three eyed fish....
