All aspects of company business. President, treasurer, salesman, CAD modeler using Autodesk's Inventor.I started this company to help some people get a head start on building their 3D model library. I help them with Modeling for them, training, and mentoring.I have been using the 3D software and knowledge of the software and systems to improve client's knowledge of the software and how to use it. I take a "teach a man to fish....." type philosophy to allow customers to be more efficient and productive.

As a project manager I work with clients to run the a design project, including communicating the status, schedule of projects to the customer. I work with the design engineer(s) (sometimes that's me) to on the design of the customer's equipment to meet the customers requirements.As a project engineer, I work with the project manager and design develop the components/equipment to meet the customer's needs. Customers that I have worked with vary across the board and type, from across the state.

Determine, develop the plan and implement engineering systems to improve engineering times, by improving and streamlining processes.

Same thing I did at ALACAD.
