About the Author

I am retired, but still want to contribute to society and do so in a way I enjoy; so, I started this website over 10 years ago. I write about the things I have learned and experienced during my life and careers. I research and try to contribute knowledge and other items that folks will find useful, interesting, or fun. My scribblings have attracted over three million page views (all sites combined); am rather surprised by that. Do you have an article suggestion that you think might help people? If so, drop me a note in the comments section. Maybe I can write about it.

I have paid experience (except where otherwise noted) in the following industries, professions, projects. The list is more or less in reverse chronological order. I've no doubt forgotten a few. I'll add them as I remember.

    Nit to pick...you refer to Platinum, Palladium and Rhodium as "rare-earth metals". While they are metals and are rare (btw, actual rare earth metals are NOT scarce) they are not "rare-earth metals".
