Then, working construction to put myself through school, I felt I went through enough hard knocks to shake the "artistic" tag, but, as you can see, I can still draw a pretty picture.<br /> <br /> What excites me now is applying my skills in the areas where great discoveries are being made, so I'd love to get my design for a cantilevered drilling platform in play, as it uses recycled rigid-frame beams &amp; columns. Also, just because I got a degree in Environmental Design, I am not off the deep end in "being green." I tell everyone, I was into the environment before it became an "ism." If any opportunities present themselves in land planning, soils testing, field surveying, CAD drafting, or conceptual design, I'd like to have a conversation with anyone connected-to this area that contains so much promise.....
