What is the most unique and/or exciting experience you’ve had here at Wright Lab?
I was at the Gibbs shop for 25 years before coming to Wright Lab and it was a big transition. It has been a great experience being at Wright Lab for the past 5 years and working with a new and ever-changing group of people.
What are you looking forward to in the coming year at Wright Lab?
We are starting up production on the ATLAS stave core project. I work on the fabrication of the stave cores. I’m also working on a focal plate for Charlie Baltay’s ESO QUEST camera upgrade.
What is something that people might not know about you that you’d like to share with the community?
I was a volunteer fireman for 8 years before I came to work at the Gibbs shop. I like camping; I have a seasonal campsite; I camp with my grandson. I collect farm tractors and have a substantial farm tractor collection. I raise chickens and ducks and if you’re interested in some eggs, let me know!
