- The Robot Group

Once an electronics technician, I am now a precision machinist. Strickly manual - no CNC.I have two children, Lucas, 16, and Whitney, 14. I believe they are what is making my hair turn gray. I discovered the Stirling engine through a friend when I had the interest in making a model engine to challenge my skills. I love making things by machining. I have helped in the creation of several displays that are being presented by The Robot Group
