Bio

I'm a retired mechanical designer with over 32 years under my belt. Goals are to be a better woodworker, also help by supporting other vets thru the DVA, VFW MCL, MOPH & the Catholic War Veteran Organizations. Being a disable Vet myself I know how hard things get over the years. Mech. Designer in Eng. Work on active design, that is design that was released to MFG. The good part of the time wored in R&D bring new products to the market.
