        Art was an up and coming young engineer at Lockheed when he and I started working together. His commitment to his craft is inspiring. He supported many different programs which in turn meant he had to adapt to each programs requirements. A team oriented individual whose work outside the Lockheed office involved coaching for the local high schools and voluntary work for the community. His skills as an engineer have matured to a point where recommending him for a job as either a Mechanical or Tooling Engineer would come highly.
