I have 50 years of experience, and specialize in the field of mechanical engineering with specific knowledge in the areas of machine design, engineering mechanics and offshore drilling and production. I have published on such topics as drilling, mechanics of long tubular and machine design. I have testified on downhole tools, paint ball gun and ceiling fan. I have had the joy of doing a variety of things over my career from industrial research to design to field operations. I have equally enjoyed academic administration, teaching and research.
