Living in harmony with nature, "off the grid", in the Maine North Woods |
This website is a project that I use to maintain and enhance my technical skills, check out my resume for more information. We have chosen to live a unique lifestyle in Soldier Pond, Maine.
Soldier Pond is located about 197 miles Northeast of Quebec and about 420 miles north of Boston.
We recently moved from Oxbow, ME.
where we lived "off-grid" and derived our electricity from an
off-grid solar system. |
Our new off-grid solar system
is significantly larger than our system in Oxbow and is intended to supply all of the electrical needs
for a conventional house. We enjoy several winter sports including ice skating, snowshoeing and Nordic skiing. Check out photos of our winter activities. Speaking of family members... Shawna has returned from Iraq, Brooklyn moved to Las Vegas this year (2011), Brittny has taken up glass etching . Andrea is doing very well with Biathlon this year. |
(Check out Andrea's athlete page on the US Olympic website and her blog here.) Maddi is taking a CNA class and has started taking college classes. Last but not least, Kinzy is doing fabulous in school (as always). Take a look at the foreign exchange students that we have hosted from around the globe. I have traveled extensively with my various jobs and we also travel a lots as a family to watch Andrea's Biathlon events and visit family in ME, MN, ND, and MT.
