A graduate BSME, I spent my "working career" as a Sales Engineer for two major roller bearing companies and then ran my own sales agency as a finale. Retired, I now enjoy learning how to write, design simple items and working with my hands and mind in a creative manner.

Nothing spectacular that won a medal, but I did devise a method that allowed a product's quality to speak for itself and win its way into the customer's heart and became a standard QA requirement within the railroad industry.

While not a very popular subject in these days of easy money and rare leisure time, I have been writing a book about the pleasure one can experience by choosing to use discarded scrap wood items as the primary material source for home type woodworking projects.
