I work as a mechanical engineer for a living, but my main interest is internal combustion engines, especially gas turbine engines. I would like to find a job in Florida, Alabama, or Mississippi, NOT behind a desk.

Some of my recent projects have been:

1. Golfjet - Turbine powered golf cart, wheel driven, with a 90 horsepower Garrett AiResearch JFS100-13A twin-spool turboshaft engine. Top design speed is 80 mph. This project is the only one currently featured in my pics and videos section, although I hope to add more projects soon.

2. Turbine powered lawn tractor, using a 134 horsepower Garrett GTP30-150F single spool turboshaft engine. Designed to be able to cut grass at up to 15 mph. This project is currently being built.

3. 1986 Buick Regal, re-engined with a Chevrolet 383 stroker engine, 11.1:1 compression, 420 horsepower, 250 psi cranking compression on 105 octane fuel. This car is my daily driver.

4. 1987 Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS, with a Chevy 383 stroker engine, 12:1 compression, 580 horsepower, 260 psi cranking compression on 105 octane fuel.

5. Turbine boat powered by a Boeing T50-BO-8A 300 horsepower twin-spool turbine engine. I have the engine and the boat but haven't started work yet.

Last but not least, I plan to build a Zenair 601 kitplane and power it with a Corvair engine. This project is several years off in the future.
