About

I am a very detail orientated person with an extensive technical background. I was a certified Tool & Die maker by age 21 and continued on this career path until I got the desire to become more involved with the designing aspect. I went back to school to help with this career transition and now I am enjoying what I do very much. I apply my knowledge of previous work experiences to my current career objectives and maintain a straight forward attitude to gaining more experience in the Mechanical Engineering field.
