Shawn Bulle:  

any control of the business so I left. I started a steel company in Cheyenne, Wyoming that grew and did well. The work reminded me too much of my childhood so I sold it to a weight lifting equipment company and went to work for them as a marketing executive in the bodybuilding industry. During the next year, I was flying to bodybuilding competitions, etc. as a sponsor. I met most of the big names and wannabes. You should see my photo album! I got sick of the Wyoming weather and moved the family back to Prescott AZ. In Prescott, I met an owner of an aerospace engineering company and he told me that his whole company was in a bind because he had contracted a robotic control job to 3 different companies and they weren't successful at creating the device to control valves and pyrotechnic devices on airbags. The companies had been simultaneously working on the project for over a year. I offered to build the electronic device and he thought I was joking. Desperate as he was, he agreed on a Friday. I basically built a tiny computer and programmed the microchips to react in a couple of milliseconds to stimuli. I worked all weekend and brought it in on Monday. They performed tests and it worked flawlessly. I was offered a job and spent the next 3 years building robotic devices. Some of my work includes, aircraft seatbelts, fighter jet ejection systems, Apache helicopter landing gear, soft landing retraction systems for parachutes, airbags and autonomous guidance systems to name a few. I spent plenty of time testing down at the Yuma Proving Grounds. You might ask if I had schooling on that stuff and the answer is no. I was pretty much born with it. It came real easy to me. I gained recognition in the aerospace industry and have several published works. I also was a speaker at the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics annual meeting in Monterrey CA. Over half of the audience was NASA engineers. I also gave a briefing on technology to officials from USA, Britain, France and Germany. After I walked away from the $100K+/yr engineering job to own my own company, I wrote a sophisticated drawing program and produced several videos. My ultimate goal was to build submarines but you need tons of cash to do that. Fortunately, the business is booming and the products are selling worldwide. We have started building those submarines too. Military This is my weapon, this is my gun. This is for killing and this is for fun... Here's a toast to my Army buddies Mitchell, Stephens, Parks, Slusher, McMills, Gonzales, and Brunner. "Rockets of the Marne"
