Welcome!

Thank you for your interest. Within these pages you will find information detailing a highly successful and widely varied career.

An industrial engineering degree is sometimes confused with mechanical engineering. My Penn State degree has a strong emphasis on systems engineering, scheduling, hardware automation, and computer software and programming. It also includes management, basic electrical engineering and a number of core and advanced computer science classes.

With this unique degree and my extensive computer experience, I am in a position to contribute in all phases of a product's life cycle: from conception, specification, design, programming, through implementation. As my resume details, these skills have proven equally applicable to engineering, consumer products, and to software products.

In our world of rapidly changing technologies, I ask you to hire me based on my "trainability," not on some absurd laundry list of qualifications, for example: "FORTRAN, 3 years, Required." My career has many examples of where I needed to learn a new computer language (such as Progress 4/GL, Web programming, Java, and Perl) or a complex software package (such as Pro/Engineer). In all cases I've had the core knowledge needed to get up to speed and productive in 2-3 weeks, relying not on expensive seminars, but on available books and tutorials. I have programmed in every major language, but if my language skills aren't an exact match, I can and will learn your language. In addition, I have many years of design experience and will be prepared to shift with your company's needs when technologies change.
