Nerd? Only when I'm being paid to be one. Otherwise I'm pretty cool, if you don't mind me saying so myself! [8D] This reads like an ad in the personals! [:)] |

Holy Mackerel. Somebody else admits to a degree in Engineering Mechanics!! I usually just say Mechanical Engineer. Currently (21 yrs) working as a Manufacturing Engineer (there's a degree for this?) building space stuff for Lockheed Martin after closing the GE Aerospace plant in Utica NY & the RCA AstroSpace plant in NJ.

BS Mech Eng from VA Tech 1990
Started on the MBA but traveled too much to finish it. Passed the PE in VA but I don't do anything with it I cofounded an automation company in 1996. Our previous employer had us on the road too much. We used to build robotic machinery for repairs and inspection of nuclear reactors. No shit, the water really does glow blue just like on the simpsons. Now we build specialty machines for a bunch of different industries. Collection includes 1 Colt M16A1 in transfer for the last 4 months 1 vector Uzi from the ar-15.com group buy (transfer just starting) 3 bushy ar-15's 1 hk-91 and various other military style stuff |
