SOULPEDL

Working on SoulPedal®. It's a full time challenge, but my inspiration and drive comes from Elon and the people that work at Tesla around the world. Things like "the best part is no part" and 1st principle thinking are what I try to Design and Build to. The most revealing part about Production and it's challenges is how difficult it is to replicate that prototype with minimum labor. The human is a huge variable in any production and is often the #1 root cause of product defects. Pulling myself out of this loop is quite a challenge and makes learning both interesting and relevant.

Born in Ontario Canada, lived as a dual citizen my whole life, all ages, BC Okanagan area is "home" where life got fun, and currently in Chandler Az. Picked up a BS-EET from NAU while repairing and installing audio equipment, snow skiing when I could afford it.

I hired on with Intel as a Technical Training Engineer for new Manufacturing Equipment and Processes. Definitely should have targeted Mfg Engineering instead, so doing it now as owner of CleanStage LLC in the Music Industry and following a dream. I do experiments daily and hope to be involved in training AI Robots for my little factory someday... which turns out to be precisely my old job description, true story, full circle is possible.

I haven't waterski'd in a couple years, but used to do tournament slalom (try anyway). I will ski again, deep water start... till I'm 70... before I'll need another ski... maybe.

Line Stander for the first M3 LR release, then MY->MYP, 8.2KW Solar, 2 Powerwalls, and my Garage Factory.
