     OCCUPATIONAL OBJECTIVE:
	  Interested in mixed hardware and firmware in the computer and
	  instrumentation markets.  Position should encompass initiating,
	  planning, and taking complete responsibility for projects.  Long
	  term responsibilities should include managerial aspects.

     SUMMARY OF EXPERIENCE:
	  Over ten years of firmware and digital hardware experience in 
	  electronic intrumentation, with prior experience in full-custom
	  ASIC design, layout, and simulation, and in desktop computer
	  firmware.  Have programmed in C, PASCAL, FORTRAN, and assembler
	  on a variety of computers from microprocessors to mainframes.

     WORK EXPERIENCE:

	  Hewlett-Packard Company
	  Loveland Instrument/VXI Systems Division
	
	  March 1992 to present:  Hardware and firmware design and
	    implementation for a high-speed data storage module for
	    a not-yet-announced product.

	  January 1990 to March 1992:  Firmware for the E1445A and E1340A
	    Arbitrary Function generators and E1446A Summing Amplifier/DAC.
	    Firmware written primarily in C, with some assembler.  The
	    E1445A firmware was intended exclusively for the MC68000 running
	    the pSOS real-time operating system, whereas the E1340A and E1446A
	    firmware had to run on a variety of architectures, including
	    Motorola, Intel, and PA-RISC.  Firmware development was on a
	    UNIX-based platform.

	    Responsibilities also included the command reference portion
	    of the user manuals, done on a PC using Ventura Publisher.
	
	  January, 1989 to January, 1991:  Firmware for HP's B- and C-sized
	    VXI Slot 0 Controllers, written primarly in assembler, with some
	    C, for the MC68000 microprocessor.  Wrote high-performance
	    drivers for the IEEE-488 bus and the non-Resource Manager
	    portions of the VXI Slot 0/Command Module.
	
	  September, 1983 to January, 1989:  Hardware and firmware for
	    the high-performance, modular HP 3852A Data Acquisition System.

	    Firmware included the drivers, written mostly in assembler for
	    the MC68000, for twenty of the plug-in modules for the HP 3852A,
	    as well as the IEEE-488 driver.

	    Hardware projects included complete designs for a high-speed
	    digital I/O card, an interface to IBM PC/AT (ISA) plug-in cards,
	    and the IEEE-488 and multi-box extender link hardware, the first-
	    pass design of a MC68HC11-based RS-232 data communications card,
	    and the preliminary design of a 8051-based counter card.
    
	  September, 1982 to September 1983:  Diagnostic firmware for a
	    cancelled mixed-signal IC tester, written in PASCAL.

	  Hewlett-Packard Company
	  Greeley Division

	  August, 1981 to September, 1982:  Design and layout for a customi-
	    zable universal state machine IC built in a proprietary NMOS
	    process.  Design simulation was done using SPICE.  Note that
	    this was not a customization of an existing semi-custom chip,
	    but the design of the basic chip which was customized for
	    multiple applications by other project groups.

	  August, 1979 to August, 1981:  Leave of absence for church
	    missionary work in France.

	  Hewlett-Packard Company
	  Ft. Collins Division
	
	  January, 1976 to August, 1979:  Did entire software effort for
	    a BASIC language desktop computer, the HP 9831A.  Initially
	    converted the older HP 9830 firmware, written entirely in
	    assembler, to run on the then-new HP 9285 processor chip set.
	    Then, completely rewrote the Disk Memory ROM to interface to
	    a variety of disk drives, both floppy and fixed, using both
	    parallel and IEEE-488 interfaces.

     EDUCATION:
	  M.S. in Electrical Engineering, December, 1975, and B.S.E.E.,
	  August, 1974, from Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana.
	  Plan of study was broad-based with emphasis on digital hardware
	  design and computer science.  Member of Tau Beta Pi.

	  Additional post-graduate coursework in computer science and VLSI
	  design taken video tape from Stanford University and others.  Short
	  courses taken in the areas of structured analysis, structured design,
	  and software project management.

     OUTSIDE INTERESTS:
	  Gardening, hunting, fishing, hiking, and computer recreations,
	  depending on time available and season.

     ADDITIONAL LANGUAGES:
	  French - good verbal and reading skills

     PERSONAL DATA:
     	  Born: 10/7/53
