A & P Mechanic, Corporate Aviation.  Gulfstreams, Learjets, Hawkers, Beechcraft, Swearingen, Shorts Bros, BaE.....et al....the Lear 35A is my primary responsibility....also Assistant Director of Quality Assurance for the business.

Part of spare time, restoring old/antique airplanes and engines.  worked on Fairchild PT-17, B17's, P38's, Stearmans, R-2800's, 3350's, Hamilton Standard Props, Sensinich props, and Dowty Rotol (British) Props....all good stuff.  The round engine motto:  If it doesn't leak oil, it's out of oil.

Rest of spare time collecting and building plastic models, and O gauge Trains.  when  I'm not doing that or playing AH, I'll find a bit of time to ride my Harley, when it comes.:)

My card says: Intel - Senior Technician / Lithography Specialist.

I work at Components Research in Hillsboro.  I live in constant amazement of just what technology can piece together.

I am an SQA Manager for Symantec.  Chairboy's the name, software quality assurance is my game.

Before I started managing, I was an engineer here.  Great company, super products.  Want a personal firewall that's guarenteed to work with Aces High?  Unlike the competition, the management has a vested interest in Norton Internet Security and Norton Personal Firewall playing well with the game.  :p
