I am Todd Andrus, I am in Engineering Technology Education, I would like to teach a class in manufacturing, machine, welding, fabrication, or applied engineering. Engineering and designing and building machines is something that I am always thinking about. I can't go through the day with out redesigning everything I see in my head to be better in someway. I like to build things, mostly out of metal, I like small machines, wind power, and robots. I think I am mostly inspired to be a teacher not by the really good ones I had, but by the ones who called me a lazy day-dreamer who is not willing to try. I know I can do better. As far as hobbies go I like to fix anything that is broken, I like small engines. I like to ride motorcycles with my wife. (not on the same one she rides her own bike) I do cowboy poetry, I do leather work, and I sing in a barbershop quartet. I have been married to my wife Tani, for 15 years. I have two daughters, Sophi is 6 and in first grade, Jacki is 11 and in 7th grade. They all love to read and are much more skilled in it than I am. Sometime in the next few months I will be going to Taiwan to adopt a son, his name is Noah, he is 5 months old and is in an orphanage in Tainan in the southern part of the country. We have been working on the adoption for about 18 months much longer than he has been alive.

I remember some of this stuff about you when I peer reviewed your autobiography. I didn't know until that time that you did cowboy poetry. I do not know allot about it but what I have heard I enjoy. I remember going to the Bar-J wranglers on a scout trip to Jackson one year. I have gone back since with some friends because i enjoyed it so much. I used to work with a guy on the dairy that was big into it too. I enjoyed the poem you shared for your text set. I found it interesting that you sing in a barbershop quartet, I would have never guessed that about you. You have some hobbies that are interesting to me. I have never got into anything like that very deeply, I always think one day when I have more time. It never seems to come. I want to get into writing apps for phones I think that would be fun. Anyway you are on your way to pick up Noah. I wish you the best of Travels and wish you a merry christmas because it will be about then before you read this.
