Hello, welcome to my page. I am Jon and, until recently, I lived with my wife Amanda and Tinker the dog near Machynlleth in Mid-Wales. Amanda currently has work in San Francisco, I am writing a book ( Run Your Diesel Vehicle on Biofuels will be published in 2008) and Tinker has gone to live with some lovely friends in Lancaster while we are away.
I am currently studying on an MSc in Renewable Energy Systems Technology (it is based Loughborough University in the UK, but I’m studying from home) and I convert diesel vehicles to run on vegetable oil and I am writing a book on vegetable oil & biodiesel.
I also spend a lot of my time cycling and drinking coffee.
Primarily I work as an engineer on renewable energy projects. I also work on peoples’ houses, building projects, as a rigger on big tents and marquees, build the occasional website, mend hippy’s trucks, paint windows, fix computers - and anything else which helps me fund my way through college.
Last year’s big events were organising a massive private birthday party in the field behind our house and going to Burning Man 2007 . This year’s big things are spending time in San Francisco and Burning Man 2008.
