When Vern started with Honeywell Inc., he was a full time employee teaching mechanical systems to building operating engineers.

This includes classes on pneumatic controls, electric and electronic controls, reciprocating cooling systems, centrifugal chillers, absorber chillers, all types of airhandlers, air balancing, boiler operation and maintenance, burner controls and boiler efficiency. Vern has taught classes to refrigeration technicians in preparation for the Refrigeration Certification exam and proctored the test (with higher passing rates than the national average Vern adds!) Vern teaches classes all over the United States and Canada. Past class locations include government military installations, universities (including Yale), auto assembly plants, RSES groups, Canadian military bases, community colleges, technical colleges, Honeywell branch offices and at Honeywell Inc.'s ACS Global Training Services training facility. Since 1997, Vern has specialized in teaching classes on the EXCEL 5000 and LCBS System product lines of controllers, and the associated software programs, including SymmetrE and Acselon. Vern is now an Authorized Training Provider for Honeywell's XL5000 and LCBS system. Vern has also acted as the Honeywell's Industry Representative on pneumatic controls at the annual United Association Union training session in Ann Arbor MI.
Vern is married to Jennifer, a wonderful woman who has faithfully (yet sometimes reluctantly) accepted the travel required to teach for Honeywell and on the Honeywell systems. Vern and Jennifer have a beautiful 10 year old son named Jeremy. Jeremy is an excellent student and has won the science fair at school the last two years. Jeremy is also a Green Sash in Shaolin Kung Fu. Jeremy has a little brother named Nicholas. Also an excellent student, Nicky is studying Karate. Both boys are great big brothers to their little sister Elanor. Elanor is a beautiful little girl who is very curious about everything. A Shepard / Lab mix puppy (OK, she's a grown dog now!) named Willow rounds out the Petersen family.
Vern also has been involved in wax sculpture since 1977. In his spare time (Jen would dispute that there is any of this!) Vern creates is wax sculptures to sell in his shop at the Minnesota Renaissance Festival. Vern also sells his work retail by mail order. If you're interested, take a peak at a candle!
