My name is James Wicksford and I am a 37 year old energy policy analyst employed by the Aspen Institute (http://www.aspeninstitute.org/, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aspen_Institute). I attended Boston University where I earned an undergraduate degree in biochemistry before finishing my graduate studies in the field of Law, Policy, and Society.

My current work focuses on determining the suitability and sustainability of various forms of alternative energy, including everything from ethanol to synthetic coal-based fuels. My team then uses the results of these analysis to produce policy recommendations and educate the public.

My interests on hobbies include golfing, amature industrial fabrication, and the folk art traditions of the rural northeastern United States. I minored in history at University and while I haven't kept current with the latest literature and journals I do my best to stay informed regarding historical and archaeological developments.
