I am part owner and the business manager for a small R&D company... I helped start the company up almost 8 years ago... we do materials engineering and technology commercialization... exploring how microwave heating technology can be used for advanced materials applications - like fuel cells, semi-conductors, nano-ceramics, electro-ceramics, wear parts, and a whole long list that will bore ya :D

We basically do in-house R&D to develop and then license or sell our own intellectual property and inventions... and we also do research and development work for large companies and the government.

Some of the things we've worked on have been sport related - even snowmobing - so that adds a little fun in :D For example... microwaves can be used to improve the properties of some materials, so the materials used for the drive clutch, torsion, and suspension springs on our sleds are improved... we've also worked on making brake materials so they are stronger and tougher and last longer...

And, we accidentally blow stuff up every now and then - that part is fun :doh: :p LOL

I also do some photography work on the side... mostly action stuff and nature stuff... I love shooting snocross and motocross, and I worked for a while for NESRA (North East Snowmobile Racing Assn), a new snocross track here in the NY area... but I had to let the gig go, because it was interfering with my riding time LOL ...I find it really hard to sit and take pics, when I'd rather be sledding myself :drool:
