| Introduction | Mining and Geological Engineer, Professor, Consultant, and spoiler of two Chocolate Labs named Theo & Teddy (both after Theodore Roosevelt). I've lived on both sides of this great nation, though I was raised and grew up in the mountains of West Virginia. I currently reside in Virginia, love the mid-Atlantic region, as well as the Low Country of South Carolina, and the northeast corner of Wyoming. I am currently riding a 1977 BMW R100S and modifying a 2011 Ural Gear Up (Gobi Desert) for enhanced on and off-road riding. |
