Web Site Objective:
|
The original intent of this personal web site
in 2000
was to learn html, build a web site and communicate with family.
This effort was before face book and other modern web sites. Now
(2009) the primary motivation is to support my hobbies including
Jaguar Cars, and post my resume for potential contract job offers.
This website was created with
Microsoft Front Page 2003. I appreciate feedback for potential
viewing problems, Please post this information at "feedback

General Background:
After graduating in England with a Bachelors of Science
in Mechanical Engineering, I became an aerospace structural
engineer, working on the design and analysis of commercial and military aircraft,
helicopters, hovercraft, airships, spacecraft. Also, devoted a number of
years to being a rocket scientist. Currently I have 25 years in the
Aerospace industry. Please refer to resume page for details of my
aerospace career.
Although reasonably successful, traveled and lived in
several countries, the aerospace industry is a cyclic business.
Boom always turns to bust in approximately 10 year cycles.
If up and coming young persons are thinking of
starting out in the aerospace industry, my recommendation is to give the
industry a try if
you are a risk taker and want to explore the world. On the other hand if you like
job security, prefer to live in one location, or you are looking to earn a
"Large Wad", (English yuppie slang for "lots of money"), then look
elsewhere. This industry is not for you. The best aerospace opportunities
are within the small up and coming corporations. The larger corporations
are somewhat devoid of real career opportunities. Go to the
Aerospace Home Page to view listings of
Aerospace Corporations and opportunities.
Presently I temporarily reside in San Diego, CA, USA as
a permanent resident (green card), but also have a dual British and
Canadian citizenship. Any person thinking of emigrating to the US
must be for-warned. The process is generally inequitable, bureaucratic and requires a lot of patience and
persistence.
Weather:
For persons back in cold, windy and wet England I have
added a live web-cam picture of San Diego and the San Diego weather
forecast. We are rumored to receive lot's of sunshine each year, a
primary motive for locating here..
