Favorite design and analysis tools: I like the moment the light bub goes on, when I have that spark of an idea. That's a thrill as an inventor. I also like the wide variety of inventions, and the respect of my piers, whether or not I'm able to license or productize an invention.

Hobbies and activities: inventing, photography, taking apart cameras.

Inspired by: I like solving problems. I like the "ah-ha moment" when I come up with an invention.
