I am a Senior Mechanical Design Engineer with 10 years of work experience. I have worked in several disciplines including underwater vehicles and counter IED systems for a defense contractor, commercial and industrial ventilation, and commercial packaged indoor HVAC equipment. All of my experience has been in manufacturing environments, which gives me a very practical understanding of the design constraints caused by manufacturing limitations. Most of my design and drafting has been done with SolidWorks, which I have also been using for 10 years. I am a Certified SolidWorks Professional (CSWP) with advanced certifications in Sheet Metal, Surfacing, and Weldment design.

Since 1995 I have been a CAD designer, assistant manager of 2 drafting departments, a Senior Designer and Project Architect, and am now working in both AutoCAD and Revit, along with Navisworks and a bit of Sketchup. Many of my projects are now in the built environment all over the southern U.S.A. and there's no signs of stopping! I hold A.S. degrees in Architectural Design technology and Building Construction technology, and am casually working toward a third one in Engineering Design technology - so yes I have also done some projects in Solidworks and Inventor. I am also a regular contributor in the Autodesk forums, as Bob Zurunkle and am one of their Autodesk Elite.
