Biography:
My start in electronics was in the mid-1980's as an audio engineer and performance modification technician. Later that decade and into the next, I held positions of PCB Designer and Electrical Engineer. Starting in the 2000's, my focus shifted more toward Test Engineering and software development.
I have been involved in the development of commercial products from dog training collars to biological threat detectors. In the military and aerospace fields, I have been involved with critical testing platforms for valves used on aircraft carriers, guidance systems, sensors used on jet fighters, and display units for bombers.
I picked up a shrink-wrapped copy of LabVIEW 5.1 around 2001, because someone told me I could "control things with it". Since then, I have made it a mission and a passion to ensure that LabVIEW Is Everywhere!
