I received a Ph.D. in Chemistry from Lehigh University in 1986. Prior to that I spent several years in the US Army in the 172nd Mountain Brigade and the 101st Airborne Division.I have been working in the laser industry for 20+ years holding technical, sales and management positions at Spectra Physics, Lambda Physik, Laser Photonics and Resonetics. I am active in technical organizations where I give seminars designed to promote the technology of Laser based micromachining in industry. I also publish frequently in several different journals and magazines, including a monthly web column, "Light Reading", in PCB007. My hobbies include music, collecting and repairing antique timepieces, preparing (and enjoying!) fine food, riding our Harley, and farming. My wife Joann and I live on High Hollow Farm. The old colonial farmhouse was built in 1772 and was occupied by the nephews of Samuel Wilson, otherwise known as Uncle Sam. |
