About the Author
Formally I am educated in the Mechanical Technology and Manufacturing Technology fields, and known as a Technologist (what is a Technologist?). I work in the manufacturing and mechanical engineering sectors. I also do work out of a small home shop. There is significant electronics and programming overlap out of my interest in robotics, vibration and controls and as such I am often programming Arduinos and PLCs. I also dabble in electronic design.
Outside of academia and work I am a husband, father of 3, and a gearhead who began training very early in life by being the son of a mechanic and taking all things apart and wondering why things work the way they do. I’m a Christian and I’m eternally thankful for the freedom I have in my life (both physically and spiritually). “and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free”. John 8:32 (ESV)
