He climbed on the piping on the steam side of the the plant. where with a sketch pad and a tape measure made sketches of existing pipe hangers for seismic analysis by the engineering staff.

Classic rock and country music are his forte. He has not played professionally, but he has done a few performances at some small hotel bars and family functions. Dennis also played drums in the school band form 5th grade thru 8th grade, When he lost interest in drums he rediscovered his interest in the guitar.
