Welcome to Pete's home page!

      Hi!   My name is Pete.   I am a Chemical Engineer/Consultant living in Boise, Idaho, currently working for a Sheridan, Wyoming company called EMIT Water Discharge Technology (now Exterran.)   They're pretty cool; they install and operate waste water treatment systems for the coal bed methane industry, treating wastewater pumped from coal seams for production of natural gas.

      I've also worked as a Facilities Engineer and Manager for Micron Technology, Inc., a semiconductor manufacturer located in Boise, Idaho.   Prior to that I spent 4 years in the US Navy as a Frogman and a SEAL.

      Some of my interests include Astronomy, Brewing Beer (or at least drinking it,) Explosives, Radio Control Modeling, SCUBA Diving, Navy SEALs, Shooting, Steven Wright Sayings, Skiing and Snowboarding, Sundials, and my latest hobby Helicopters.
