I am a retired engineer. I've worked in consumer goods, food and beverage, aerospace/DOD, and pharmaceuticals. As a free-lance consultant and prototype builder, I solve problems in manufacturing.
As a second career, I do grip and electric. I also design and fabricate custom camera mounts.
I'm having fun, meeting great people and it beats joining a gym!

Thank you for your consideration.
Ben Watkins - Are you on facebook? | |
Eric Kenehan - I agree with Ben. Currently I've been brainstorming different and creative ways to mount the new Canon 5D Mark II. It's a full frame still photography camera that shoots surprisingly good HD and is generating a lot of 'very indie' buzz. You should check into it if you haven't already. | |
Ben Watkins - In my humble opinion, your resume reads as an impressive body of work. | |
