BACKGROUND

I have always had a knack for 3-dimensional visualization and

design. I have run Winona Drafting Service since 1992 - offering clients 3-

D graphic solutions for varied problems including legal litigation,

manufacturing engineering support, tool and fixture design and NHDES

permitting. In 6 years working with process engineers I produced assembly

procedures for over 225 different sub-assemblies. Assembly procedures

included 3-dimensional exploded views; current revision levels for all

parts; and bills of materials. I have designed check fixtures for bent

tubes used in aircraft engines as well as computer industry. I have used

AutoCAD 2000-2008, Personal Designer 6 and SolidWorks 99.
