Interests Primarily technical-hands on stuff, music, scuba diving (certified), f ishing, computers. Tips Although I spent many years in management I prefer to exercise my mind on t he technical side of things. I'm very good with people. I believe we learn mor e by teaching what we know. The reason I came back to S-TEC in 1994 is because the President of the company personally solicited me and made me a share holder to come back with the intent to be the Director of Manufacturing (which I did). After a few years we got our first OEM and needed someone to take care of that interest. I volunteered for the position and spent 3 years developing and managing the onsite support effort . I prefer a position with a variety of things that one can do. I have traveled t he world supporting customers with flight control installation and configuration issues. I know Microsoft Office and many outdated DOS programs. I can write queries, ma cros, and even batch files. I have experience with a variety of development so ftware packages (Autocad, LabView, Orcad, Tango, Pads, Power Logic, Altium, PCB Express, etc...) I own my on 2010 LABview Developer suite from National Instru ments and Parts&Vendors 6.0 ECO version from Trilogy Design.
