s a mechanical design engineer with MTS Systems in Eden Prairie, MN. I design and work on some very intresting stuff - Jurassic Park the Ride, Vehicle Crash Simulators, Driving Simulators, and a Rotorcraft Survivability Test Stand to name some.

2003: I was blessed with the birth of my second son, Masa.
2005: I was again blessed with the birth of my second daughter, Sazanami (means little ripple).
Well, that sums up the last 30 years, it's a little depressing knowing I can sum up my life in 12 sentences, but I am having a blast, and have been very fortunate.
