Paul Lopes

Littleton, NH

I've spent most of my life studying and understanding how things work. While doing this I've spent time as a farmer, firefighter, publisher, diesel mechanic, soda jerk, aardvark, plaintiff, chef, collector, and programmer. Some of the things that I do full time include being a father, and enjoying life!
