Been a machinest for over 50 yrs., mechanical engineering school, been programing operating CNC equipment since 1975, currently (currently retired) but have the run of a plastics injection mold building shop with millions of dollars of CNC equipment. In fact the shop just spent 1/2 mil. on a Mazak 5 axis CNC mill and a new Mazak CNC lathe, we're really big on wire EDM machines.

I am an account rep for BowTech Archery. I set up pro-shops & keep them stocked w/ bows & manage several states & some international sales too. I love my job will probably die here before I retire. Hot rods are my true passion though.
