A little about myself: I am a young professional, graduating from Umass-Lowell with my bachelors degree in mechanical engineering in 2008. I spent the summer and winter before graduation interning at The Shaw Group as a nuclear systems intern, and was asked to stay as a full-time employee. I have spent the last year and a half with them, developing my nuclear system skills. Outside of that, I started training for triathlons as a way to exercise and to have something to do when I left work. I competed in 4 triathlons and 2 duathlons this past summer, one being the Sprint National Championship in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, which I qualified for in my second race. Overall, triathlons, the training and racing, has been a great experience for me, and will continue to be. I am currently living with my parents, but in 2 weeks will be moving into an apartment with my girlfriend of 2 years, Laura, in Waltham. More on this later.
This blog is not going to be about any specific subjects, but an array of subjects that may or may not interest you. I plan on discussing my job in a way so that you may understand and appreciate nuclear energy more; my experiences in life that I have had, and continue to have, in case you would like to have similar experiences; and I also plan on discussing my progress and training through my newest hobby, triathlons. I am very much into social networking sites (facebook, dmi, twitter) and am excited to be able to use more than 140 characters!
