I live on a mountain in Washington state USA. We have an apple and berry orchard that we planted, and a medium sized vegetable garden, and lots of forest. I have a few dogs that I like to spend time hiking and mountain climbing with, and I like tinkering with automotive projects and solar projects. For work, I am a solar engineer who teaches off-grid solar design on line and does consulting. I play piano, and am trying to learn the guitar or the quena, not very quickly though.
