Fab Lab Manager Wanger Family Fab Lab Museum of Science and Industry Chicago 57th Street and Lake Shore Drive Chicago, IL 60637 www.msichicago.org/whats-here/fab-lab/

By education and experience I am a Manufacturing Technologist, Designer, Engineer, Machinist, Welder.

I worked for a long time in the wonderful, but tough manufacturing and metal casting industries inventing, designing, building and making stuff. In these industries I taught as much as I knew to others and learned as much as I could from others. Now I'm teaching the amazingness of old and new school manufacturing techniques to anyone interested. I am learning as many skills as anyone will teach me, especially with my involvement with The Museum of Science and Industry Wanger Family Fab Lab as well as a local hacker space Pumping Station: One. Recently I've been enjoying the personal manufacturing revolution and can't wait to see what the future of designing and making stuff is going to be like.
