I am a 53 year old world traveler. I have worked in consulting firms gaining experience in several fields (medical, manufacturing, aerospace, pay TV, data warehouse—to name a few) in different countries (Switzerland, France, Spain, Canada, etc.) My career started in the space industry where I discovered my passion for aerospace, working on both military and civilian projects. I was sometimes steered away from aerospace but MY passion pushed me to become an airline pilot, as a way to really understand how those instruments I programmed and integrated were operating in a cockpit. One of my last challenges was to organize flight simulator testing into a lean manufacturing environment. I work with milling machines, draftsmanship, accounting and finance, software development, electronic design and industrial robots, and it is always fun for me to use an oscilloscope, an ARINC bus analyzer, and step into assembly language or stall a Boeing 777!
