My mechanical experience started at an early age when I started taking my toys apart and putting them back together when I was 5 years old. My family encouraged the interest they saw in me giving me 3 Erector sets for Christmas at age 7. The curriculum in the school system provided numerous courses in Industrial Arts classes in junior high. High school offered courses in wood shop and mechanical drawing. Ensuing Machine Trades for 2 years at a vocational school was most rewarding. The personal experience of thirteen years’ in the management and craft of Tool & Die, Design & Prototype and Repair, Rebuilding, Restoration of machine tools contributed to a vast mechanical comprehension. Driving a truck in the upper mid-west for 7 years gave an insight into logistics. Twenty years’ in the management and craft of the plumbing and mechanical business gave a wholesome grounding in customer relations.
