About This Blog

I've been thinking about doing a blog for a long time.  To go into some of my experiences, thoughts and ideas on business, engineering, leadership and government/politics.  I believe we all have experiences that are eye opening and helpful to ourselves and others and should be shared. I have a wide variety of work experiences with a wide variety of different people and from very different perspectives.  I've done things like farming and construction when I was young, took the long road through college to get my electrical engineering degree, worked as an electronic engineer and up to VP of Engineering in a small to midsize company and worked for larger publicly traded companies, and now have my own carpentry/construction business.

I believe a lot of my thoughts will be somewhat contrarian.  And will provide a different perspective for many.  I've found sometimes if you want to or need to find the truth or the root cause of a problem in my engineering days, sometimes the contrarian though process was the correct one, or at least sometimes you'd have to force yourself to think differently to find the problem and fix it.  I believe this is the case in other aspects of business, government, politics and life in general.

I hope these thoughts and experiences will be useful to others.
