As President of Stormy Weather Players, I produced (most), directed (some), and sometimes performed in numerous different plays, including our world-famous "One Act Plays Festival."With "War of the Worlds" (poster, below) I also co-wrote some permitted modifications to the stage adaptation, to add a little local, smoky flavor.I also created many of the.

A series of essays I wrote have been published (with attribution) in the book, "The Authorized Ender Companion", by Jake Black, and published by TOR. Illustrations (2D drawings and 3D renderings) that I created are also included--in fact, one of my detailed renderings is on the back cover of the book!My essays explain the fictional/technical details of.

Taking a loose and sometimes contradictory and impractical set of descriptions, turning them into a rough specification, and designing a successful asset against that specification. Presenting said design to the original author in a thorough, detailed format for his approval and eventual implementation in future stories.

Led the mechanical engineering design team in the update of the company's flagship product: "Scout", a MIL-STD-810 rugged, wireless laptop computer aimed at the telecommunications industry. Designed the company's first docking station for the Scout, leading to over $500K in initial unit sales upon release.Company has since been purchased by "Microslate."

* Project Engineer, Universal Studios’ “Terminator 2 in 3D” (Orlando & Hollywood) and other concurrent projects* Designed & analyzed servomechanisms and structures for theatre, theme park, film & corporate/industrial productions: Beauty and the Beast (NY, Japan, Mexico, US Tour), Miss Saigon (US Tour), RIO Sky Parade (Las Vegas), Disney/ABC Studios (NYC).

(See PRG description)

I performed a substantial redesign of the "Levitator" that raised up the Beast at the climax of the production, spun him around, and allowed him to magically change back to the Prince. This was a complete re-working of gear trains and motorization (taking a system that was actually dangerous to the performer, and making it safe and controllable), and.

• Developed servomechanisms for pan/tilt control of an integrated video camera system for the space station.• Selected components and materials based on extreme thermal cycles and outgassing requirements.• Used computer solid modeling for equipment design and creation of photorealistic presentation graphics.• FEA used for structural, modal and thermal.

• Directed mechanical, electrical and software engineering/design teams to create high accuracy (10 micron and better) assembly and inspection robots for the electronic circuit fabrication industry.• Integrated distributed servo control, high-speed vision systems, precision linear and rotary axes, advanced safety interlock systems, and auxiliary process.

• Designed servo-actuators and other mechanisms for space-qualified, remotely manipulated, humanoid robots. This was originally called FTS (Flight Telerobotic Servicer) and is not the the “Robonaut” project; still active at JSC. Also worked on a project adapting the FTS for a robot-based mobile anti-terrorist devices.• Designed and analyzed multi-axis.

• Performed detail design, static and dynamic structural analysis, thermal analysis (including FEA), and configuration studies on gyro-referenced, stabilized tracking systems for Navy, Air Force and other contracts. • Conducted vibration analysis and testing to military specifications. Designed test fixtures. Set-up, modified, and ran third-party test.
