"I enjoy developing the latest and greatest products on the market. The excitement is one-upping every competitor out there just when they think they have the best. Innovation keeps business healthy, profitable and world class. Being a part of the bigger picture and visible to the shareholders can bring enormous pride and ownership. After over 20 years as a professional in both the Aerospace and the Consumer Product Industry I can say that I've truly found my niche."
