What I'm looking for

I am looking for engineering roles that challenge my skills and foster growth.

I am a seasoned electrical engineer with a strong background in embedded systems design and electronic production. With over two decades of experience, I have successfully led engineering projects across various industries, including marine and nuclear sectors. My journey began with a B.S. in Engineering from Idaho State University, and I have since honed my skills in electronic design, PCB layout, and technical management.

As the Owner and General Manager of DH MicroSystems, Inc., I have developed innovative sensor and display products tailored for the marine industry. My role has involved everything from product conception to production, ensuring high-quality standards and customer satisfaction. I take pride in my ability to train and supervise technical staff, fostering a collaborative environment that drives project success.

Throughout my career, I have been deeply involved in quality assurance processes, particularly within the nuclear industry, where I have contributed to the development of safety-rated electronic control systems. My commitment to continuous improvement and my passion for engineering challenges motivate me to seek new opportunities that allow me to leverage my expertise while further enhancing my skill set.
