Michael Scwaebe PE, MSEE, BBEC
Chief Consultant on Geopathic Stress
Education: Graduated from Oregon State University in 1969 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering (BSME). I was privileged to have a Navy scholarship for my schooling and upon graduation, I was commissioned directly into the US Navy as an Ensign.
US Navy ('69-'74)The first year in the Navy was nuclear engineering and nuclear propulsion prototype training. Then submarine school, with specialty classes for the submarine assignment. I qualified in nuclear power and in submarines (gold dolphins) aboard the Casimir Pulaski (SSBN633). This assignment included a major overhaul, two shake-down cruises, and two FBM patrols in the North Atlantic and Arctic oceans. The next assignment was to the Tunny (SSN682), which was in new construction. This assignment included initial sea trials and extensive shakedown cruises in the Caribbean and Atlantic oceans. The context of the work is the supervision of the ship’s crew and the operation and maintenance of the ship’s systems, including the nuclear propulsion plant.
Solar Gas Turbine Corp. ('75-'77)Program administrator for a nationwide emergency gas turbine preventive maintenance project.
Planning Research Corp (PRC) ('78-'80) Director of the pre-overhaul test, inspection, and planning of US Navy non-combatant surface ships.5) Southern California Edison, San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station (SONGS) ('81-'09)
Systems engineer for turbine cycle systems and systems important to the safe shutdown of the nuclear reactor.Thermal performance engineer, with the literal objective to find lost megawatts and get them back in the grid. The context for the work here was engineering support for the operations and maintenance staff at the station that included initial plant startup, system design/redesign, maintenance practices, operations procedures, root cause evaluations, and engineering paramedic for non-conforming conditions, all with the intended purpose of operating within the design basis of the plant. I completed my certification as a Professional Engineer at SONGS in the mid-’80s.
Applicable Experience: Base Building Biology Environmental Consultant: In 1993 I had a God knock at the power plant, a head injury where forward motion, as I had known it, stopped. A physical and mental condition arouse sensitivity to chemical, electrical, sound, and subtle energies. In circa2000, I undertook the study of Biogeometry, a toolset that empowered me to remediate the powers of nature around me so that I could be more comfortable. About 2006 remediation of the energy qualities associated with electrical was no longer enough for me to be comfortable in my skin. And it was at this time that I embarked on the Building Biology training. I did the three basic courses that year, purchased instruments, and was mentored by Larry Gust, former chairman of the board of directors for the Building Biology Institute, and Martine Davis, an indoor air quality specialist. I started the work in my home, in my workplace, and in the homes of friends. In 2011, I reviewed the basic classes, completed a special project, and was awarded the BBEC certification. All along, from the start of my training, I have sought out my personal sensitivities and their causes and to measure, quantify and remediate these causes. As a Building BiologyEnvironmentalConsultant, I bring to the task my personal instrument, honed through years of self-awareness, and insight and augmented by a host of instruments. I, for the most part, feel what my clients feel. I can assess the living or workspace and know when I enter what is amiss, where it acts in the body for me and for the client, and then determine the source and the remediation
