    Me

    I'm just a dumb tech (to steal doc's saying). But for me it's pretty true. ASE master certifed and currently working on Mercedes at a local stealership. Before this I was
    managing a shop called Frank Racing and building late model Hemi cars and trucks. Prior to that I worked for Hennessey Performance where I was just referred to as the hemi tech. I did however get to spin wrenches on some Vipers, ford gt's, prowlers, and porches before I left. I own a small business which does some pArts sales in my spare time and have plans on opening a shop in the next few years.

    Maybe I just need to go to work for Doc to get some learnin on how to properly run a business and how to fabricate.

    Glad to be a part of a community of great Jeep owners here.

    I'm working for Fokker Aerostructures. This is a Dutch company making airplane parts for almost every major aircraft manufacturer. We make parts for Lockheed Martin, Boeing, Northrop Grumman, Airbus, Gulfstream, NH Industries, Dassault, Bombardier and more. For more than seven years now I've been relocated as a Manufacturing Engineer at our US customers during the design en development phases of new aircraft (re)design. My main task is checking produceability and developing manufacturing strategies for detail parts to final structure assemblies made out of aluminum, titanium and composites (mainly carbon fiber part).
    I've worked five years at Lockheed Martin in Fort Worth, TX on the F-35 and now for over two years at Boeing in Mesa, AZ on the AH-64 Apache.
    Before my relocation I was a Production Engineer for sweveral other programs at our facilities in the Netherlands.

    I use to bump these types of threads every so often. I guess I'm slacking!
