BOATING

I am a college student pursuing a degree in Mechanical Engineering. I was raised on a farm in rural N.C., and at age 18 I enrolled in the United States Marine Corps where I served five years as a jet engine mechanic. I have traveled all of the U.S. and most of the Pacific region down to Australia. I have decided to begin writing articles of interest and experience in hopes that someone may benefit from them in some way. My father is an Alaskan Eskimo, and my mother is a retired school teacher who spent her entire career in the villages of Alaska and Canada. I enjoy fishing, boating, jet skis, motorcycling, and just about anything else that has an engine attached to it. I love the beach and the surrounding islands of North Carolina, and ,to me, being on the water is the closest to heaven you will ever find on Earth. I hope you enjoy my articles, and thanks for reading.

Born in the city, raised in the country and currently living in the suburbs--Earl is a computer science professional, but one who's not in touch with his inner nerd! While he holds an advanced degree in Computer Science and has over ten years experience in all realms of software development, his greatest interests lie in less abstract realms: boating, wakeboarding, snowboarding, fishing, hiking, camping, weight-lifting and rock climbing. Ironically, his writing interests include more abstract realms such as fantasy and science fiction. Some might think this makes Earl a mess--never really fitting into any one realm perfectly. Ask Earl and he'll tell you he's well rounded, a Jack-of-all-trades and, well, maybe just a little bit of a mess.
