No, At present I am an Engineer with Airbus Americas Engineering in Wichita, Kansas. I started out as a Sheetmetal Assembler, worked my way into Tooling where I worked as a Pattern Maker, Jig Builder and Machinist/Tool & Diemaker. From there I moved on into Tool Design and NC Programming. I have been working as an Engineer since 1983. My previous occupations gave me the skills to build this bike.
