From the unique journey I have followed, I have been fortunate to meet many great people and learn much from them, and to meet many hard challenges, conquering each and learn much from them.  Along that path I've had opportunities to learn, grow, and excel in a wide variety of areas surrounding electronic product development in oil & gas and in aerospace, particularly where the challenges included hazardous areas.

I am a problem-solving consultant who drives to results; a mentor, servant-leader who works to a high standard of integrity, with varying experience from circuit design to project management, with solid understanding of electrical safety (particularly haz/loc) & EMC standards, IPC standards, their applicability, and certification & compliance to them, and a familiarity with Mil standards, API standards, USCG and ABS standards.

Also a subject matter expert for cabling & cable assembly design, and for plastics & insulation materials.
