I have had a 30 year career spanning roles as Machinist, Manufacturing Engineer, CAD/CAM CNC Programmer, Web/Graphic Designer, Audio Engineer, Manufacturing Consultant, Contract Product and Automotive Designer, I'm also familiar with CAE and FEA. From Automotive to Surgical/Medical, Aerospace and back again. I've accumulated a lot of fantastic experience over the years that I could put to good use for you. CAD is fun and useful, no doubt, but what I'd really like is to move beyond the screen and into the area of product development management, where I think I can merge my continuous improvement and mad technical skills to help improve your product design processes. But I'm open to suggestions. For over 15 years, I've specialized in complex 3D surfacing & modeling. I'm well versed in UGNX, Catia V5 and I-deas. I can provide a workable solution for tough design problems drawing from my extensive background in metal working, machine tools, tooling, plastics and casting design. Being a Product Designer, to me, seemed to be the top of the food chain as far as fabricating stuff goes. Every step I've taken to get here reinforces that skill set. From this perspective, I had hopes of leading or managing other designers and engineers. At least have a lead design position by now. CAD is a tool that helps me design stuff.
