I am passionate about customer service and facilitating long term relationships by being highly responsive to customers both internal and external and by providing innovative and elegant solutions that actually solve problems. I enjoy working closely with customers to understand their needs and then leading the team to provide efficient and effective solutions. I am also a strong proponent of COTS product utilization and modular design. With each solution developed strong consideration is taken on how the resultant product can meet the needs of similar customers or markets. I go at each problem with the strengths of being able to understand customer problems at the systems level, and to see them from the customers perspective, this allows me to propose or specify solutions with differentiation and real ROI impact. With experience in advanced research, design engineering, marketing, sales, project management, quality, and supplier selection, I have a strong understanding of how specifications affect development and lead time as well as how they effect NRE, and cost. I have put those experiences to use in championing the development of several products and product lines successfully and profitably introduced to the market in several different industries.I am the primary inventor on several patents in multiple market spaces. Extensive experience working with customers in China, Japan and Europe in addition to North America.Prior to my engineering degree I spent several years as an auto mechanic and also in various forms of sales and small business management.
