     EMPLOYMENT GOALS:
	To secure a position with mechanical design and/or manufacturing
	process responsibility. Ideally, this would be backed up with
	analysis (calculations and computer modeling) and testing. I am
	looking for a challenging position which would utilize my
	extensive skills. 

     PRIMARY AREAS OF INTEREST:
	Mechanics/electro-mechanics (including spindle/motor assy)
	Acoustics (measurement, source isolation and correction)
	Airflow and air filtration

     EDUCATION:
	MSME, Purdue University, 1988 (specialization in
		acoustics/vibration) thru GEEP 
	Graduate work in kinematics, CSU, part-time 1982-1984
	BSME, University of Illinois, 1980
	Pre-engineering, Illinois State University, 1975-1977
	Various seminars/conferences in airflow and acoustics

     ADDITIONAL SKILLS:
	  Currently use Pro-Engineer Solids modeling/drafting package
		for design work. 
	 Written several programs on PC and VAX for control of test
		equipment and data collection/analysis. 
	 Familiar with VMS (including some system management), Ultrix,
		and DOS 
	 Working knowledge of many application packages (EDT, DecWrite,
		DeCalc, DecDecision, DecGraph, DecWindows, Lotus, RS/1,
		ANSYS, etc.) 
	 Can write programs in Basic and Fortran.
	 Have used Unigraphics 3D drafting package in previous jobs.
	 Have seen 2 disk drive development programs completely from
		start to FRS. 
	 Extensive experience with generic test equipment (scopes, FFT
		analyzers, etc.) as well as designing test equipment and
		fixturing. 
	 Good communication skills
	 Good team player.
