Proven inventor once again striking out on my own
As a machinist, I learned to make all kinds of things with all types of machines and discovered my passion for invention. Having started several businesses with modest success, I eventually accepted an offer to become the VP of R&D at a small hardware company where I was responsible for managing the entire process of taking ideas for inovative tools from the drawing board and making them ready for retail markets around the world. Now semi-retired, it turns out I've saved my best ideas for last.
