  Anything i want

  I'm fully retired as of 2024. I was essentially retired in 2016; however, I continued to work off & on part-time with Jacobs and one client for several years. Moved to Pacific Northwest. Now, it's time to be fully retired instead of nearly retired. Working hard at hardly logging into LinkedIn ;-) Thanks to everyone who I have had the pleasure to work with and who have helped me through a 40+ year career of industrial engineering, facility management, and software consulting.My wife and I are enjoying a new chapter in in our life. Happy trails, ... until we meet again ... Show less
