Desire challenging corporate management responsibilities. Capable of designing and developing systems and procedures, organizing or reorganizing for lowest cost and maximum profitability. Offer combined education of engineering and business management (BSEE, MBA equivalent), coupled with several years of successful financial and engineering experience.

I am presently engaged in consulting activities that have included clients' projects in the areas of general management, finance, accounting and corporate management. The majority of these projects were either crisis management situations or involved computer selection, installation and troubleshooting existing systems.

For my first four years my position was Controller. Since 1977 I served as Corporate Secretary and Treasurer. My duties included all the traditional functions of these two corporate offices. The responsibilities included all the financial aspects of the company, such as:

Other areas of my responsibilities included setting up and supervising an international sales and operations division and procuring government guaranteed loans for our international customers.

In the manufacturing arena, I was responsible for:

The vice president and I designed and implemented a new complex integrated computer system.

In the marketing areas, I consulted with the president on setting our marketing budgets and the most productive ways of utilizing the funds in order to promote the 10,000 items we sold.

My position was assistant to the president of this newly formed company. My duties were completely open and included finance, accounting, marketing, engineering and production.

In the areas of finance and accounting, I made all the tax filings and returns and kept all the company records. I drew up the current P&L statements, balance sheets, proforma financial statements and cash flow projections. From these I determined the capital requirements of the corporation and analyzed alternative means of financing all operations. In the areas of marketing, I forecasted the sales potential of our two basic product lines and analyzed methods of initial contact with potential customers and methods of distribution. Our design engineering was done out of state, and I coordinated this with our main office and production facilities. I redesigned our engineering prototypes to adapt them to production models and set up the production methods and facilities to produce them in quantity,

I held the position of Process Engineer in the Manufacturing Engineering Department and Project Engineer in Development Engineering Department. My duties covered a wide range of activities since I was the only electrical engineer in these two very large engineering departments. My work covered the spectrum from the design and troubleshooting of solid state circuits to the control systems of heavy production equipment. My duties included design and development of new equipment or the procurement of it from out side developers. I was also responsible for troubleshooting existing equipment and making modifications to it.

 The majority of equipment that I worked with can be put into two broad categories. The .first includes electrical and pneumatic control systems for either a single piece of production equipment or for an automated series of machinery integrated to yield continuous flow from raw materials through to finished product. The second category encompassed various electronic solid state circuits, electrical, electro-optical, electro-mechanical and pneumatic devices to detect flaws, defects or missing components on high speed production equipment for on-line quality assurance of the product or for off-line thorough inspection, testing and analysis.

To accomplish the objectives of my job, I worked hand in hand with the people in the departments of quality assurance, production, maintenance, procurement, personnel and union representation.

As a Flight Test Instrumentation Engineer, I worked on the Phantom F-4 family of aircraft and was responsible for the design, installation and maintenance of the data acquisition systems for the aircraft test program to which I was assigned.

My duties were to define the instrumentation systems required to implement my teat program, prepare detailed and summary instrumentation reports describing the systems and equipment locations. I had to select the quantity and type of equipment required to accomplish my test program's objective and initiate the procurement of this selected equipment. I carried on technical negotiations with vendors and military agencies regarding specifications and prepared the specifications for the design and fabrication of special test and calibration equipment. I then had the responsibility of coordination the installation of the instrumentation hardware in the test vehicle, preparing set-up and calibration procedures and directing the troubleshooting for any system malfunctions.

I was brought up in St. Louis. An athletic assistantship and earnings from summer jobs with Coca Cola Bottling Company paid for my college education. A teaching assistantship at Washington University helped defray graduate school expenses.
