Rainy greetings from Oregon...

Hi,
Just starting to become a sport pilot. Have lived in Alaska and flew in a number of bush planes there as a passenger, also have gone gliding.
Am looking for recommendations for a good F.I. in the PDX area.
My educational background is in physics and now work in engineering. I've done a lot of electronics and have done a wide variety of interesting projects: videotaped the aurora with low light tv cameras; built a solar vehicle; built a human centrifuge and a pitch/roll chair for studying the interaction of vision and the inner ear; did low temperature (liquid N2 and He) anti-ferromagnet research; have helped with numerous earthquake engineering structural projects.
For flying, my plan is to visit a number of the smaller airparks around PDX and meet potential F.I.'s and do discovery flights in different planes until I get enough understanding of what is best for me and find a good F.I. match.
