Addendum to resume:

In addition to the information on my resume, I feel some of the automotive experience I've accumulated in my work career prior to Northrop Grummen would be of value so I am including it in this addendum.

At Fat Performance I was responsible for fabrication of off-road cars that won Mexican 1000 and numerous other races. It also included jig and fixture fabrication, heli-arc welding. I also headed up the R&D department.

At Mike Thompson's RV Center I was the service manager, and worked as service adviser for both Ron Goodwin Honda/Pontiac, and Bill McGuire Chevrolet.

Prior to working in management, I worked for Mike Leiby Race Cars and Pete Bagnard Race Cars, where I was instrumental in fabricating numerous funny cars and prototype race cars with various innovative systems. All of these cars were hand built from the chassis to completion (womb to tomb).

Thanks for you time and attention.
