My previous experience listed several "thanks" to those who gave me an opportunity, and to them, I am eternally grateful. After a year of leaving that post up, I am certain that the men who helped train me in the engineering arts are aware of their contribution.My background as a Mechanical Engineer is quite varied. I am a free-range engineer, and I do not bind myself to the "we've always done it like this" mentality. It would seem that my best, and most creative solutions are when I disregard the implied conventions.Please do not take this to be careless, but consider it as a boundless approach to thinking and execution.I have 19 years in custom one-off equipment, OEM design, commissioning, installation, training and project management.
