School
I came, I saw, I partied! Schoolwork....well, that's another story........
I did, however manage to pass the CA. H/S Proficiency Exam (CA's version of the GED) in the fall of '80 so I was out of H/S a year or so early.

Commercial industry: Mag-Light flashlights (high-speed manufacturing equiptment), Moen faucetts (faucett design), Dirt Devil (vacuum cleaner and carpet cleaner redesign). I designed the outer shells (cosmetic surfaces) of a new radar gun for Decatur Radar.
NASA: Turbine engine sector test rig h20-cooled manifold design and pipe routing, windtunnel work, jet nozzle test rig and fuel injector design, shuttle experiment work.
Currently I'm working in FTC for woodward. Recently designed the die-cast housings for their bus ignition systems.
Been there, done that. What's next?
