About

I am an entrepreneur/scientist, engineer, and technologist with the know-how to create great new machines! I have spent over 20 years in an my ongoing exploration to learn the best ways to design and create things. In formal education, professional experience and personal experimentation. I have been able to work with machines and technologies that were the trappings of the science fictions that inspired me as a boy. I am at a place in my life where I am just as apt to build something as think about it for a long time. I have not reached a point in my maturity where I have stopped believing in changing the world. I earnestly love engineering and design. I am eager and excited about the things I'm making now. I'm also interested in doing more, learning more, and seeing problems I've never been set to task before! I think my future is an exciting place. Few people know they are living in a state of grace. I revel in it!
