About Me

I grew up having a Father that taught Metals in Industrial Arts, as it used to be called. That’s what got me interested in machining. I was given the opportunity in around 1990 to learn the Wire EDM Process of Machining. All of the geometry involved in the drawing, programing, and cutting fascinated me so it has been a good fit. It is exciting to do a part that because of the complexity, material, accuracy, or other reasons can not be machined in any other way. Especially when you get a customer out of a bind in doing such a part.

Do you have any unique talents or hobbies?

I’ve been known to tell a good Dad joke every now and then.

What is your favorite sport to watch and who do you root for?

College Football. Alabama Crimson Tide.

As a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?

A pro football player.

If you could choose a superpower, what would it be?

To get everyone to get along.
