I am a "hands on" engineer with a BSME degree and fifty years experience in the design, sales, and manufacturing of electro-mechanical products for industrial, bio-medical, and military applications. I have an extensive background in all phases of manufacturing from precision metal machining and forming, electronic packaging, and plastic injection molding and tooling. I have excellent customer and sales skills and have negotiated development contracts with NASA, NAVSEA, American Airlines, EXXON, Harvard University, Bendix Semiconductors, etc. I have been awarded two First Prize Awards and seven patents for new product designs. As a trained machinist, aircraft mechanic, and TIG welder, I am able to converse with shop personnel and create teams to facilitate the introduction of new products into production. Engineering skills include electronic packaging, thermal issues, electronic connectors, electric vehicles, bio-medical and laboratory instrumentation, ultra linear filtration and process systems, commercial cooking equipment, and military systems.
