Ian McPhillips, P.E. Senior Project Manager – Energy I had given up my old Triumph after my daughters were born. Last July, after over a year of pandemic-driven cabin fever, I decided it was time to get back out there so I bought a new motorcycle. I couldn’t be happier with that splurge. Having the opportunity to take some rides for the sole purpose of enjoyment has provided some much-needed wind therapy and helped me make the most of the pandemic years.

Jesse VanCamp CPD MEP Team Leader / Project Manager I When we built our house we wanted a pizza oven in the kitchen, but it got removed from the budget and we decided to get a larger garage. After saving up for a couple of years I opted to buy the wood fired oven in the photos (2019). Typically after heating up for about 30-40 minutes it will produce a fantastic pizza in about 2 minutes. We’ve cooked a thanksgiving turkey, steak, paninis in it also. We also found that it makes great fajitas since it provides a little smokey flavor to chicken and steak (also cooks in a fraction of the time). I’ve been growing San Marzano tomatoes, garlic and basil in my garden, which are all great complements to homemade pizza.
