My Bio
Personal Quote: Watch, study, and learn from your elders, and judge them fairly, for your youngers will soon be watching you.

________________BACKGROUND_____________
Formally educated with work experience in drafting, design, and computer design programs.
Recently, self-taught in use of SketchUp, while still learning Blender.

Previous job titles have been kitchen designer, interior designer for ships, naval architecture and map maker (at a local power authority).

________________PERSONAL_______________
Interests of late have been in 3D modeling game design at IMVU, architecture, and aviation. Earlier passions were for engineering and machines, latently this still continues.

As a product of the 60's a keen interest in ecology, renewable energy, recycling and forward thinking are always foremost.

________________LIFE STATEMENTS__________
While renewable resources are there to be used, waste, misuse and overuse, or non-renewable resources are appalling issues, and I think about how to resolve or work around them, all the time.

I am intuitive and will act on that intuition without waiting for permission from others. However, if I have erred in that action, I am not too proud to say I was wrong.
