- Name: Graeme
- Location: Indianapolis, IN, United States
I'm a Texan who moved to the Midwest, now a registered engineer. I spend my time renovating my residence - an historic masonry industrial building - and generally have fun messing about with cars, motorcycles, and spending time with my family. I'm passionate about structural engineering, and I'm hoping to share what I have learned, as well as what I am learning.
