Hello all,
I've already posted a number of times and participated in several group buys, so I figured I was overdue for an introduction.
I currently live in near Grand Rapids, Mi. My background is in electronics, mostly working in the semiconductor and solar manufacturing fields. Spent a year managing a MEMS lab for a well respected science/engineering college. I now regret that I wasn't as interested in lasers while I was there due to their large optical engineering program. Lasers everywhere.
My first laser was the usual red pointers, but my first higher power was a WL 35mW green I picked up on Ebay. I started a 405nm build many months ago and then stopped for for a while and recently finished it (Although awaiting a new driver atm). Found this forum due to the Arctic, but I'm not one of the "only here for the Arctic" type. I already have learned a lot here and intend on furthering my knowledge on the subject. Recently picked up a lathe/mill and with time I may start offering some basic services for parts, but metal working is totally new to me so it may be a while.
Well that's about it for me. Glad to have a found the group here and hope to be able to add something to the forum during my stay.
