I come to wikipedia with an engineering degree with 30+ years of experience across multiple disciplines and vertical markets including aerospace; aviation; avionics; robotics and automated manufacturing; modeling and simulation; national missile defense; information technology; e-commerce and wireless communication. I've co-authored one NASA-related patent. Some of my other interests include mycology, permaculture and to some degree anthropology. I've written and published one peer-reviewed article (which brought me $750K worth of consulting business). I've also done some writing for a comic strip (yet to be syndicated) and am working on a couple of books.
