About

I have been involved in product design and manufacturing for 30 years, using SolidWorks since 2000 and Autocad since 1995. Those are just the tools. My real strength is my process development and manufacturing experience that accompanies my passion for design/engineering. I have first hand experience bringing products from napkin sketch to various production volumes in many sectors, Small electronic devices, Advanced composite parts/assemblies, Aerospace, and Consumer products to name a few. While I may seem more expensive upfront, my work product is generally closer to production viable than a typical prototype. I design as if I will be producing it. This also tends to yield lower costs in the long run.
