Gentlemen, I grew up in Ohio. Came to Ca in '74. I've worked as a Honda MC mechanic, on and off for 12 yrs. My Career has been in new product development since I graduated-BS Biology in '73. I worked for Mead Paper (in Dayton) developing Ink Jet Printing. I came to Ca and worked for Xerox on electronic mail machines (now FAX), and then for MCA, Universal, IBM, Discovision, and Optical Disc Corp, developing the Laser Disc, CD ROM, and compact disc technology in LA. I struck out on my own in the late 80's. I worked in security, and as an EMT, and then '94-'97 as a Firefighter/EMT in San Bernadino Co. Ca (Mojave Desert), while developing my own products. Most recently, I worked for the Transportation Security Administration as a baggage screener. I was honored to finally be able to serve my country, and my job is currently under appeal.
I call Red Mountain, in the Mojave, between Edwards and China Lake and Fort Irwin, my home now, my pile (of M37's) is there. I have an acre in a remote community, surrounded by perfect M37/Flying terrain. I am temporarily in Long Beach Ca (LA) while I continue to bring my products to market.
I have those German Engeneering Genes, and I have been building new things with my hands, all my life. I am a designer. (Inventor). My avocation is Motorcycling, Flying, and Military Vehicles-ie M37's. My Profession is New Product Development.
I remain unmarried, and I care most about my products, my dog, and my M37. These are my "children".
I am passionate about both Design and M37's.
I see my goal in life, as to being sucessful as a designer, by having people vote for my products with their dollar bills.
Thank you Joe, for this wonderful Forum. And thank you Lord, for all these wonderful people.
Thanx Will Liebscher
