Embedded Software Development | West Michigan | Ex-Dunkin Donuts donut slinger | Ex-Electrical Engineer at USAF. I like flinging millions of frail little bits around per second and telling chips, “what’s up!” My goal is to work hard and play hard. I love working with great and ethical people and striving together as a team. Here are a few quotes from my rolling log to help understand what makes me tick: "In the long run, the sharpest weapon of all is a kind and gentle spirit." Anne Frank "In time of change learners inherit the earth while the learned find themselves beautifully equipped to work in a world that no longer exists." Eric Hoffer "If you seek a pleasant peninsula, look about you." ? "Teaching is probably the noblest profession in the world - the most unselfish, difficult, and honorable profession, but it is also the most unappreciated, underrated, underpaid, and under-praised profession in the world. And so today we are going to praise teacher." Leonard Bernstein "Show us a man who never makes a mistake and we will show a man who never makes anything. The capacity for occasional blundering is inseparable from the capacity to bring things to pass." Herman Wayland "True compassion is more than flinging a coin to a beggar; it comes to see that an edifice which produces beggars needs restructuring." MLK "Whenever I see an adult on a bicycle, I have hope for the human race." HG Wells "For instance, on the planet Earth, man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much -- the wheel, New York, wars and so on --whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man -- for precisely the same reason." Hitchhikers Guide - Douglas Adam "People will forget what you said but they will never forget how you made them feel." Maya Angelou "The truth is rarely plain and never simple." Oscar Wilde "Freedom to take risks-and fail- define the heart of the Skunk Works operation." Ben R. Rich "I think it is a sad trait of human opinion-forming that the behavior of the few will always shape the reputation of the many.." Rob Lilwall, Cycling Home From Siberia "The saddest thing I can imagine is to get used to luxury." Charlie Chaplin "Never be satisfied with what you know, only with what more you can find out." David Fairchild "God will judge us by what we did to relieve the suffering of our fellow human beings. I don't think God cares what doctrine we embrace." Abraham Verghese, Cutting for Stone "Cheer up boys, there is no hope." Wilbur Wright on advice of the oberlin coach
