4 people have recommended Richard
"Richard is a well trained and well respected CAD Designer in the SDRC IDEAS arena. In a day where
people with his specific knowledge and talents are hard to come by, it's refreshing to find a true "gem" like
Richard among the few. I would recommend Richard for any position that he is considered for."
Chance Oliver, was Richard's client
"Rick's work at Yamaha was always on time and complete. Both Rick's problem solving and CAD skills were
a tremendous asset to the product design group at Yamaha. I would recommend Rick to anyone needing a
product designer that can work under little to no supervision."
Steve Higley, Unit Manager, Water Vehicle Product Development, Yamaha Motor Manufacturing
Corp., managed Richard at Yamaha Motor Mfg. Corp. USA
"Rick has one of those unique talents in that he always has a solution to a problem. He won't just inform you
of an issue. It's, here's the problem and here's my proposed solution. Rick also has common sense, which is to
say, he always seemed to look at an issue and the solution would be something that would just seem right.
That solution wouldn't always be the easiest and may even involve more work on his part to solve. I was
never involved in an issue that Rick took the easiest path just for him. He'll be as asset to any company that
he's involved with."
John Nepper Jr., President, Design Plastics Inc, was with another company when working with Richard
at Yamaha Motor Mfg. Corp. USA
"Rick is a very talented designer/engineer who utilizes his talents and knowledge to produce quality parts of
extreme complexity and challenging design constraints. His mastery of 3D modeling techniques would be a
valuable asset to any company involved in the design and manufacture of parts, components, and mechanical
assemblies."
Chuck Rogers, Senior Designer, PMCDU Panasonic, worked directly with Richard at Panasonic,
Suwannee, Ga.
