About
At 16 I started in my families machine shop, I learned machining, sheet metal, tooling, injection molding tooling and machine programming.
I received my BSME degree from (CSUN) and went to design the first aircraft inflight folding wheelchair to meet the ADA for access to flight.
I worked with the design team that developed the first aircraft coffee maker and on-board ovens.
I have complete 17 FAA-STC's from galleys trash compactors and serving carts.
