Motivated self employed mechanical designer looking for new clients and projects. Most of my past experience has been DFM, DFA, Plastic part design, injection mold design, sheetmetal part design, complex surface modeling, top down assembly design, and more. I have 20 plus years of Solidworks and ProEngineer experience. I work very well remote with use of tools like zoom meetings, email, phone, etc. I do not mind travel when needed and can provide many references you can speak with about my work history.
