About

Electronics sparked my interest on my 12th birthday with a “101 in 1 Electronics Project Kit”. I learned to read schematics and assemble circuits. A friend invited me to study electronics in high school, which begin a lifetime career...

My resume contains several successful patents with over 20 years of commitment to my employers. It is this commitment and honesty that I want to bring to my clients.

My mission is to take care of the client’s needs. The client’s intellectual property is closely guarded as if my future depends on it, because in reality it does. I work under Nondisclosure Agreement between client, vendor and contract manufacturer.

I start my designs with manufacturing and end-user in mind, before the concept is ever taken to schematic. I work with industry certified contract manufacturers. Top quality design, excellent service, competitive pricing, and on-time delivery makes me the ideal partner for all your PCBA design needs.

My most valuable asset is my honesty and desire to earn my client’s trust. My business philosophy is simple: Treat others the way I want to be treated.
