Although I have lived and worked all over the United States, I was born and raised in New Mexico and live in the historic city of Santa Fe.  A water treatment specialist and professional engineer for most of my life, I have worked in a range of industries including manufacturing, energy, mining, hospitals, and food production. I also ski, golf, ride horses, and have been on a motorcycle since I was 13. Born into a large New Mexican family with 4 brothers and 1 sister, plus heaps of cousins,  I appreciate my kids, grandkids, and relatives  and enjoy  all of the "lovin and eatin" that comes with being a part of a big New Mexican family.
