Personal
I Multi task especially coming from a small company.
I am a scientist/inventor and heavily in the Green movement.
I am considered by many to be a Hybrid researcher because of being an EE with
a lot of materials experience and organic chemistry. I have strong math skills and
am EXCEL proficiency. I am not a forty hour person. I put in at home because I love what I do.
