Modeling in SolidWorks has been my primary focus for the past 17 years and I have certification from SolidWorks having taken their sheet metal course. I am an inventor on my own (member of InventVermont) and have a product called Connect Quick (ironworksdesign.net) being marketed nationwide. This experience and the work that I have done while employed by national companies has given me years of experience in the pitfalls and successes of bringing a product to market. Through these many and varied work experiences I have acquired a sizable stable of vendors in many disciplines and have found that I can draw on their expertise and abilities to help my customers find the right mix of value for their dollar. I find that I have developed diplomatic and understanding ways with all sides of the projects from tradesmen to suppliers to customers and can provide the liaison required to move the issues into fruitful product rendition. I am a mechanical engineer with many years of experience.
