Profile Information

About Me:

I am a watershed modeler/engineer who has been involved with the EPA Stormwater Management Model (SWMM) since I was 19. I was also 19 when I married my wife (a student from Thailand) when I was a student at the University of Florida. My wife and I lived in the married student housing complex of UF for 12 years while raising our three children until we went to Austraila for a few years to live and work in Canberra.

What Makes Me Remarkable:
I am unusual in this day and age of having had the same profession/obsession since age 20. I consider myself both blessed and cursed by this association with SWMM. Supporting public domain software is a burden that will stay with me until I die most likely but on the other hand my involvement with the program has meant that I have had some small impact on the lives of close to 1 billion people.

In my pursuit of my ABD (you can look it up) I lived more than 13 years at UF. My wife and I were very involved in the politics of the student housing complex and I was the Mayor of Diamond Village for three years, President of the Married Housing Complex's for two years and Vice Mayor for five years. I am very proud of our involvement in the Villages and I still remember it as one of the highlights of my life.

Editor: a person employed by a newspaper, whose business it is to separate the wheat from the chaff, and to see that the chaff is printed.

Enthusiasm is the great hill-climber.

Folks who never do any more than they are paid for, never get paid more than they do.

Genius may have its limitations, but stupidity is not thus handicapped.
