[edit] Introduction
I'm a water quality engineer (registered civil engineer) currently working the State of California as a river forecaster. For years I was responsible for conducting numerical modeling simulations of the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta (which is a hot bed of water political activity). I got my degrees at Texas A&M University (BSCE) and University of California of Davis (MSCE) where I focused on water resources. My MS Thesis, "Development and Use of Hydrologic Drought Risk for a La Nina based Forcing in a Simplified Climate Model", combined use of a general circulation model with a simple two-stage linear programming model in an attempt to optimize reservoir storage.
In addition to environmental and engineering related topics, I'm also an avid traveler, toy train and action figure collector, ambient and industrial music fan, science fiction fan, comic book reader, and softball/baseball enthusaist. I also happen to be an election volunteer / poll worker, having worked in most state and local elections since 1998 and naturally I'm very interested in democratic elections. In high school and college I was active in Model United Nations programs, and still enjoy following international politics.
