Introduction:
Experience in engineering design, manufacturing, management, and sales affords me an insight into the methodology necessary to procure and execute projects that meet business projections and budgetary responsibilities all while meeting the customer’s needs and wants. This methodology shows that nothing is built that does not serve a purpose, and that form follows function. This understanding allows me to evaluate the customer’s needs and wants, and then deliver far beyond those expectations.
