Value through insight. Performance through knowledge.I'm a creative and energetic Materials Engineer with experience in product and process development and process improvement. The technical needs of business and their customers have been consistently fulfilled by my high-quality precision output. I am very "hands-on" in working directly with your processes and products. But my passion for working and creating is not just to have a physical thing; but for the experimentation, learning, and information that can be taken from each action. If improvement never stops, neither can knowledge. Don't focus too narrowly on "getting it out the door" to the exclusion of understanding and control. Don't rely only on "too-quick" answers that have no more reasoning than you can get from a "Magic-8 ball"Throw away the magic-8 ball and find the value of data based decisions, analyses, and understanding.Specialties: Analysis:Root cause / Failure analysis, SixSigma, Statistics / Design of Experiments, SEM/EDS, thermal characterization (DTA, TGA, Dilatometer), mechanical testing (hardness, durometer, fracture), Materials Technology:glass, superabrasives, high temperture / high pressure processing, ceramic powder processing and forming, metal-ceramic bonding, sol-gelComputer:Minitab, Microsoft Office, Microsoft Project
