I was born and raised in the upper peninsula of Michigan. Cold weather snow and all things winter course through my veins. For the past 23 years I have lived in the lower peninsula where I found gainful employment in the tool and die trade. About two years ago I started going to school . I had always wanted to attend full time or even part time but never had the ambition or money. Then along came the energy production degree program at our local college and I jumped at the opportunity. I applied for and was awarded a NRC grant to attend full time. It has been hard but I have managed to attain the highest grades even while working full time. My favorite subjects to study are math and physics. I will be required to have a solid math base for the career I will be moving into. That was then this is now I have been recently laid off because of a lack of work. So now I am building my website and going to school.
