I worked as a TV repair person during later years in High School and during Jr. college. Attendance at DeVry institute rounded out my electronics education, and gave me access to additional education in the US Army, where I was awarded 'Top in My Class'. Attended Brooks Institute of Photography in Santa Barbara. Working as a Field Service Engineer for 3M for 10 years also serving as 'Train the Trainer' for the Western US area. Employed by Delco Systems Operations as an Aerospace professional Quality Engineer and later as a Systems Effectiveness Engineer, followed by additional same for Litton Industries and North Rup Grumman for a total of ~25 years. Authored a comprehensive Quality/Mission Assurance manual that was used by both Delco and Litton, and co-authored a Space Parts Procurement Plan that addressed both procurement and receiving of less than 'S' level electronics parts (COTS Parts) for use in Space rated hardware. Worked in a consultant capacity for 3 more years as a Systems Effectiveness Engineer for Rockwell Scientific, Teledyne Scientific, and one other related company till becoming fully retired. I cannot imagine a more enjoyable, comprehensive, and satisfying career than I was privileged to have had.
