We are happy to open the barn doors and let you have a look at our family and our hobbies. First a little about us.....Curt, Missy, and Devin. Missy and I are practicing engineers educated at Clemson where we met. I am a mechanical engineer and Missy is a "sparkie", an electrical engineer. I work in a privately owned business, responsible for technology, process, and maintenance of the plant machinery. The company's web site is http://www.imc-group.com Missy worked as an electrical engineer for years and is embarking on a second career, nursing. So she's deep in the study mode as nursing school requires. Our son Devin, now a teen, loves the computer, has his own engine, and really enjoys blacksmithing. He's heavily involved in scouts and plays the tenor saxophone in the school band.

Missy and I were married in 1987 while living in Atlanta. A desire to be nearer my parents prompted us to move to Gastonia, NC in the late 80's. I grew up only about two hours  to the west, in Brevard, "land of waterfalls."  Brevard is a great vacation spot and some of the attractions can be seen at http://www.brevardnc.com/index2.html

We have quite a few hobbies and not nearly enough time to enjoy them. The restoration of British sports cars has been a hobby for more than 20 years. We are enthusiastic water skiers and ski about 3 night a week. About ten years ago I decided to join in the antique gas engine hobby after being a spectator for years. Have about 7 engines now from 1 1/2HP to 8HP. This hobby and participation in the Stationary Engine List prompted me to write this website. Hope you enjoy it.
