Phi Delta Theta Fraternity

What’s been happening:

Career: I have spent most of my career in the consumer and industrial mobile power equipment industry, designing and managing the design and manufacture of outdoor power machinery (tractors, mowers and related machines). I hold four U.S. patents; one of my designs is currently used in compact tractors and riding mowers throughout North America today. For the last 20 years, I've been providing assistance to companies and individuals involved in product liability litigation, helping courts and juries understand technical issues. I am a licensed P.E. in six states and Board Certified in Forensic Engineering (past President of the National Academy of Forensic Engineers). I have provided deposition and trial testimony more than 140 times in 24 different states. Home Life: I've been happily married now for 44 years, and blessed with fun children and grandchildren. We now live on a beautiful lake in Vermont. We take advantage of our outdoors lifestyle-sailing, sculling, skating, hiking, and just relaxing. Over the years, I have served on regional governmental boards, both in VT and in NH. I have enjoyed, do enjoy and I would like to take more time to enjoy wood working, designing and building furniture, designing/building/rebuilding houses, restoring/maintaining old boats, and painting (pen and ink and oils). When I travel, when I can, I take the train (have logged over 140,000 miles on long-distance trains). And, I collect and enjoy 'older' books, catalogs and periodicals that reveal life in the U.S. in decades past. In general, I've been lucky, and I've been blessed.
