About

I learned to draft in high school not knowing I would be able to use these skills with CAD. I thoroughly enjoy CAD and have been making drawings every day for a long time. My skills are mostly mechanical, I also wired Control Panels for several years so I'm no stranger to schematics or Ladder Logic. I learned CAD using Autocad. I started learning Autocad in 1989 And now use a close facsimile called Bricscad. I recently spent 18 months working with Solidworks. And of course I have Free Cad / Blender / Paint Dot Net / and Inkscape should the need arise.
I can do 2D Drafting or 3D Modeling, and yes, I will continue to create, innovative and have fun !! .
