I have experience in product development in the plumbing and electronics industries.  My patents have opened new markets and garnered millions in dollars of sales.  With the advent of Manage in the SolidWorks suite, I was finally able to capture all of the activities involved in the development in a project in a transparent manner, with features such as product development process capture, task SOP, Gantt charts, value added capture propositions, and more.

I have experience in studying in Japan (Ph.D., M.Sc.), working in Japan for an engineering firm and for a Hong Kong electronic company.   

I am also a certified OCT Ontario College of Teachers Teacher.
