An Einganeer's Tale is the story of my five decade career as an over-ambitious but under-appreciated, well-intended but misguided, nerdy mechanical engineer in the oil industry. From my Vietnam laden college days, to my COVID influenced retirement, I have always strived to make a difference in this world, as well as make it a cleaner place. But my path to doing this was anything but straight. My career took many strange twists and turns, and bumped into a lot of walls - as I dodged the expectations of others, and gained the confidence to find my own way. Reading this fun tale will have you laughing a little, crying a little, and learning a little about the quirky oil industry and its effect on our environment.

Larry Dean

After scraping his way through college, Larry landed a job at a big oil company. He was still a naïve, idealistic nerd and didn't really know what he had gotten himself into. Big Oil expected him to conform to their plan for his career, as countless engineers before him had. Pursuing his own path got him into a lot of trouble and lead to several job and location changes. He recognized early on how his industry was contributing to the pollution of our environment, but could do nothing about it. All this finally changed after he got a job where oil companies were his clients, not his employers. And later, he became involved in a biofuel technology that really could help make the world a cleaner place.

Larry Dean lives with his wife and two cats in Wild and Wonderful Charleston, West Virginia.
