: About Me

By day I'm an Engineer and Project Manager working in manufacturing industry. I'm something of an authority on machine vision and automated inspection, and have a background in "Lean Manufacturing.

My favorite memory ...

A pretty girl, green grass and a blue, blue sky

My best moment ...

When my newborn daughter and 3 year old son fell asleep in my arms.
