Ok - back from the dead.
This is as good of a place to start as any.... a...nnnn...ddd the recap -> going backwards in time.
I am available to start a project with you right here, right now, today. $60/hr

MSEE Stanford Engineering
BSEET DeVry Electronics (4.0 GPA)
Decade at the National Labs
5+ years roaming the hood
I have a few different resume's...
Worked at Tesla for a while (wow... I want one. Super-awesome-lego-car. Went to a dealership yesterday looking for the T-Handle.)
Worked at Zero for a while (With Luke and Nate dick swinging... good work was impeded... still trying to get back in... like 40 projects in the queue... wtf?)
Worked at Methods Technology for a while (I have 1 roll of caps to ship, 1 shaving bag going to Oregon, 1 50% refund, and 3 half finished side-projects.)
That brings us back to the present.
My boy is almost 3 years old. First time he rode a wave was at Pleasure Point, CA at age 9mo at low tide on a small day with a boogie board.
My wife is a teacher looking to start a school. MS Physics. Redefine Home School Phoolz...
My friends are members of the Electric Revolution... scattered across the planet
My current hobby is night surfing. I mean that in the most literal way.
My EV's are all broken, sold, etc. I drive an extremely capable Jeep, a reliable Toyota, and I am looking to convert the 235 straight six in my 1958 Apache.
Recall... that the Banksters stole the home we sunk about $180k into. My family and I still live in an abandoned trailer in the woods that we re-purposed using only Craigs List sourced materials. It came out damn nice considering that when we started there were holes in the floor bigger than a toilet... mold on the walls that spoke 3 languages... rats, junk, and not a single working appliance of any kind.

I now recreate by cliff diving, ocean cliff climbing, night surfing, day surfing (with Captain Agro), and for the past year or two I have gone to great lengths to reach out to every member of my local community from the ground up. I have developed relationships with key community stakeholders - homeless, activists, shop owners, special interest groups, random-folk, rich folk, you name it. I have been attempting to participate in the local leadership scene but... as you can imagine... that's a rigged stage. Not super interested in falling through any more trap doors thanks.
I did some investigative journalism
* One was on Magic Mountain in San Jose, waste management in rural areas, and hairless monkeys who think trash disappears.
* One was on an incredibly vibrant local group who have taken on "the system" in the most head-on way I have ever seen.
* One was on police brutality in Alameda county
* One was on privacy... "Living with an Android thru an apple understanding" (hard hitter... watch out...)
* And... some other stuff.. Like living without TV, Internet, Cell, & sometimes even Electricity, Water, and Heat... in 2014
Some people have come and gone.
Old folk mostly. I have some fond memories to share of those who built the world we live in now
I had a few run-in's with folks who like to try and intimidate.
hehehe... oh yea...
I finally got my sauna tub installed inside !!!
yep
Oh... here is one for you: CONTENT
Please be careful with your content. Do not assume that Facebook is a good keeper of your memories. Places like Gmail, Youtube, Facebook, ... this is TEMPORARY PARKING for your images and movies. A good example are the videos that were linked to this post. That content is no longer in existence. Please consider this while you interact on this forum. Upload your content directly to our server whenever possible to maintain the integrity of our database. Linking pictures, videos, articles, etc... and embedding them... does nothing but riddle our fort with holes in the time domain. I am guilty of this. My personal domain, professional domain, and my server is down so all associated content is no longer live-linked.
K - the plan as of right this moment
Immediate
Short Term
Long Term

I have less than a hundred bucks to my name so gainful employment is #1
Short Term
I have some unfinished business to attend to in my spare time
Long Term
We are at a critical point. The reaction we call the "Electric Revolution" is in full run-away exothermic happy place. Perfect. This is where we want to be to turn the tide. BUT.
BUT BUT frocking BUT
Everyone needs to stay focused on the fundamentals:
* Make sure EV's are smart safe - not stupid safe (think E-Stop... not Lawyer stop)
I would like to take a moment to think about how critically important it is to have redundant safety systems in EV's ( True Oh-Shit Switches). On an equally loud level I want to remind each and every one of you that trying to "come up" by financially attacking this growing EV movement equals fail. nuf said.
If anyone has a safety concern regarding anything that I am a subject matter expert on you can find me at a beach in Santa Cruz California. If you want to talk to me... we do it in the ocean. If its an interview... tell me so. If you are looking to sue or stir the shit pot, pound sand. If you cant find me - try my email... or 99 bottles of beer on the wall.... I try to stop by there a few times a week. I am not affiliated with any major EV company. I am not on the payroll of any EV company. I do not get special treatment or kickbacks. I am not a recruiter (except for the National Labs).
I am but a humble servant of the people.

P.S. HA HA -> How do you like that for a meat and coffee fueled morning ramble? Just think of how fast I can belt out facts if the shit hits the fan. Fast type'er yo.
Do not frock with us.
