I got started with my first freshwater
aquarium in elementary school and my first marine tank by
Jr. High. By High School I had decided to become a marine
biologist and entered college with that thought in mind. After
majoring in zoology for a couple of years, I made the mistake
of looking into job opportunities for the field of marine
biology. Deciding that I liked eating meals on a regular basis,
I promptly switched my major to electrical engineering. Given
that I am 6'4" and 260 lbs, I do not think I have missed
too many meals so my career decision was probably a good one,
but my passion for marine critters continues to this day.
I've now been keeping marine tanks for almost 35 years and
reef tanks for nearly 15. It was only natural that I try merging
my engineering background with my interest in marine tanks,
and the result is a nuts and bolts functional approach to
designing and operating these marine systems. I currently
reside in the San Francisco Bay area and help organize and
edit the newsletter for the local group SEABay (Saltwater
Enthusiast Association of the Bay area).
