So after leaving the small town for school and adventure 20 years ago, I have had as they say "a pretty good run."
I have had the opportunity to help on a variety designs that I would have never imagined; Environmental Test Chambers, Investment Cast Mold Tooling, Desking Systems, Task Chairs, Golf Carts, Vacuum Cleaners, Wheelchairs, Hard Hats and Safety equipment. I have also helped develop automated systems and user interfaces to aid the designers doing these tasks.
...and I am just now getting good at this, I can't wait to see what is next.
