Redwoodguy - My name is Mark Deneen. I am a retired engineer and entrepreneur. I bought my first AS last December. My career is in consumer electronics as both an engineer, and an entrepreneur. I have owned two companies that produced world-class consumer products in a very niche market. I also worked for huge Fortune 100 firms and so I know the battle for "cost reduction" and increase profits at the expense of quality. I have been in those wars as deep as you can get. I am pretty good at organizing projects, writing, and getting some kind of end-result. My engineering skills were fairly tightly focused on audio electronics, but I can usually wade through any technical discussion and get to the understanding (eventually!). I am also a jack of all trades in computer technology, web design, and documentation. My rig is a 2012 Flying Cloud 25' and the TV is a 2007 Suburban. |

Pickerdd - My name is David Dugas. I've been involved in Quality Assurance, Quality Control and SQA (Software Quality Assurance - auditing) in software development and manufacturing for over 30 years. I've been involved in startups as well as established firms. I'm in Marietta, GA and I'm pickerdd on airforums. My 1971 Airsteam seems to own me, verses me owning it. Actually, I'm its caretaker as I am for my musical instruments (played guitar for 47 years). I tow my '71 Safari with my 2008 4WD V8 4Runner using a Propride 3P hitch. |

Collimare Howard C Thomas, Owner of two small medical firms, Collimare a manufacture of diagnostic X-ray devices (www.collimare.net), and Medical Physics and Service a service company specializing in one major brand of Lithotripter. I have sold two previous medical companies/intelectual property, hold numerous domestic & international patents and have designed products for a host of medical companies, Siemens Medical and GE Medical to name just a couple. 25 years’ worth of designed products are installed in every corner of the globe. I too know all about the pressures of designing, manufacturing, marketing, selling and servicing critical high end products. My first 5 years of life were spent living in my grandparents Airstream. I owned an all original 79 25' Airstream back in the late 80s that was delightful and trouble free for the years we owned it until kids started coming along. We sold it and then later bought a 27’ TrailLight that was trouble free. Sold that to a friend who still owns it and bought a 30’ TrailBay with center slide that again was trouble free that we sold when two of the kids started college. We had been trailerless for the last 4 years until we bought our new Airstream. I tow with a 2002 Ford Excursion Limited with a lightly modified 7.3 Power Stroke using a Reese Dual Cam. My other interests are Church, Wife, Family, Friends, Golf and a 1964 Karmann Ghia with a newly installed personally designed and built Rotrex supercharged 2.1 liter flat four VW engine putting out about 250hp. |
