"I served in United States Air Force/Illinois Air National Guard 169 TACP Unit located in  Bartonville, Illinois as Ground Radio Repair and Support in 1990 - 1998. Honorably discharged.

 

While in the Air Guard I used the GI Bill to pay for my education, graduating in 1994 from Illinois State University with a Bachelor's Degree in Industrial Technology.  Most of my career I have worked as a Contract Engineer in companies such as Caterpillar, General Motors, Electrolux and Komatsu.  This broad experience provided the tools I needed to start my own Engineering Services company, Cintal, in 2007.  Cintal is a global engineering services provider, and I currently serve as its COO."
