I am a mechanical engineer by training, with more than 30 years in the rubber industry as a researcher, entrepreneur and former part-time academic.

Wikipedia reminds me of when I was a kid, out building a snowman or fortress with the other kids in the neighborhood. I loved building it just for the joy in doing part of something bigger and better than I could have done on my own.
