After high school I went on to become a degreed electronics engineer. I worked for 15 years as a biomedical engineer repairing life support equipment in hospitals through the southwest. Since then I spend all my free time designing various machines and oddities that interest me such as robots, kinetic art, electric-gas vehicles, animatronics and machinery. Currently my main job is a laser repairman, I occasionally travel throughout the southwest repairing laser systems used by dentist. I have a lot of free time and my schedule is somewhat flexible. > > Summery > I am sure I could design or build any contraption you could come up with; this is what I do best. > I love to work on a timeline and do whatever it takes to get things done.
