About me

I am a retired chemical engineer living in Newport Beach, California, USA. I spent the first 30 years of my career designing petroleum refineries, petrochemical plants, natural gas treating plants and other industrial facilities. For the next 20 years, I was a consulting engineer in the environmental field ... impact studies, permitting, wastewater and air pollution emission studies.

I am a Fellow of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers. I have published two engineering books and over 25 engineering articles in peer-reviewed journals as well as non-reviewed engineering trade magazines.

Some of my favorite quotes

• Life is what happens while you are planning it.
• If you want to hear God laugh, make a plan.
• The Second Law of Thermodynamics: There are no free lunches.
