Holding a permafrost core near Galbraith Lake, AK

I grew up in Ramsey Minnesota and had one hell of a time.

I attended the University of Minnesota for my undergraduate degree and obtained a BS in Environmental Sciences, Policy, and Management from the College of Food, Agriculture, and Natural Resource Seciences.

After this I went to Utah State University for a Masters in Civil and Environmental Engineering where my specialization was in Water Engineering with an emphasis on River Mechanics and Modeling.

After graduate school I moved to Palmer Alaska for a job with the Natural Resource Conservation Service working on inital soil surveys.

I spent three years doing this before a change in federal administration, which had suggested that I would lose my job so I accepted the Deferred Resignation Program.

Now I am building this website, making youtube videos, studing for the Fundamentals of Engineering Exam, and applying for jobs.
