With over 25 years of taking projects from concept to prototype, production, deployment and finally support I have a broad background in Mechanical Design. I earned a Masters in Mechanical Engineering from The Ohio State University and am listed a the primary inventor on 20 patents, co-inventor on more. My primary design tool is Solidworks, but a sign of a craftsman is knowing what tool to choose for which job and task. I'm flexible and skilled at choosing approaches that get solid results efficiently and effectively.
