Expert has over thirty year’s experience in the design, manufacturing, and test areas. His initial education was in Industrial Engineering (IE) and Business Administration. After receiving his BSEE/MSEE, where he majored in digital design, computers, and software. Expert became highly involved in all aspects of electronic design and testing. As a digital design engineer, he designed many circuits used in missiles, airplanes, and commercial electronics. He has vast experience working on test-related issues in the laboratory and assembly line troubleshooting and perfecting circuit operation. As an IE he studied and implemented the “Time and Motion Study” Techniques which have culminated in the principles now expressed in the Hitachi and Boothroyd methods for DFA/DFM. He has played a very active role in automating the line, implemented robotics, participated in producibility studies, and automatic material handling. He has held positions responsible for overseeing and working in the CAE/CAD/CAT, JIT, simulation, and automatic material handling. Also, he has performed studies and headed research projects in the Computer Integrated Manufacturing environment, and has been the testability overseer for Boeing Commercial Airline products. Expert is highly involved in high-speed digital design training as well.

Expert has conducted tutorials and workshops at many trade shows, conventions, symposiums, and conferences in the United States and internationally. He has taught various electrical engineering classes at the University of Washington, Washington State University, and Seattle Community College. He has conducted special continuing engineering education classes for the University of Wisconsin, University of California - Berkeley, University of California - Los Angeles, George Washington University, Oregon Graduate Institute of Technology, Oxford University (England), and Seattle Pacific University.

Expert has performed on-site consulting with approximately seventy companies in the United States and internationally. He has taught personnel with virtually all Fortune 500 companies in the U.S.

Among honors Expert has received in industry was Boeing Aerospace Man of the Year Award which he won for consolidating testing techniques for the B1-B program that saved approximately $6,000,000.

He is proficient in several SMT implementation strategies including capital equipment considerations, assembly subcontractor partnerships, component selection and procurement, quality function deployment options, and cost-effective test strategies.

Familiar with in-circuit test fault detection and fault isolation techniques, Expert applies his knowledge to correct manufacturing process problems. He has tested bareboards with blind and buried vias and controlled impedance requirements. He teaches a course entitled "Testing Surface Mount Technology: Practical Bareboard and In-Circuit Strategies" throughout the U.S., Asia, and England.

Expert has expertise in electronics testing. He has extensive experience with through-hole, SMT, commercial, and military electronics. As a test strategist for Boeing, he is very knowledgeable in areas of component, in-circuit, board/system functional, continuity, and robotic testing. He has pioneered areas of built-in self-test, design for testability, and design for productibility. He has also concentrated on SMT test issues.

Expert teaches SCAN techniques at companies and conferences nationwide and is very familiar with IEEE 1149.1 standard. He has designed IEEE 1149.1 boundary scan circuits into ASIC circuitry.

Expert has provided in-plant test-production service to 23 companies, including Ford Motor Company, GE, Solectron, Boeing,

Intel. He conducted High-Speed Digital Design and ABCs of Electronic Technology training at the Intel Folsom, CA Facility.IBM. He conducted High-Speed Digital Design and Advanced High-Speed Digital Design training at the Raleigh, NC facility. AMD. He conducted High-Speed Digital Design, High-Speed Digital Design for Non-EEs, and Advanced High-Speed Digital Design at the Austin TX facility as well as at their facility in Dresden, Germany.Texas Instruments. He conducts high-speed digital design, SMT Manufacturing, SMT Test, EMI/EMC, and Digital Design at the Dallas, TX facility.Freescale Technology. He conducts high-speed digital design at the Novi, MI,, and Austin, TX facilities.
