For the last ~30 years I have worked as an electrical engineer. It is time for a change. My wife, Claudia, and kids, Kirstin and John, agree. My family and I currently live in Worcester, MA. My children are adopted through the social services department. They are special needs but very good souls. Life can be a challenge for all of us but we are doing fine.
