Good luck Blake, you'll get somebody. If i've learned anything in biz, its "quality finds quality, it just takes time"....It was nice seeing you at sema, good luck with the new ventures.

Smart move--this will probably take you a lot further than a master's in English . . . Don't ask me how I know.

I'm jealous of guys and girls who get to go to work at places like Speedtech that just design, build, and continue to create more cool go-fast stuff. If I could count, I'd totally take up engineering to enter such a business . . .

Original Poster: It's awesome that this community can act as a conduit to finding the right person for the job--best of luck!

If your around the SF Bay Area, Deanza and Chabot colleges have great CNC machine programs and are good in some other hands on trades. My nephew is in his 2nd year of the CNC program but, lucky for him the instructor is "old school" and makes manual machine operation part of the curriculum in the AA degree. While his welding and manual machine skills might not be on par with mine his CNC and CAD skills blow me away.

If I wasn't in the middle of trying to finish my bachelors, and had the nerve to leave the aviation industry...

I hope y'all find a qualified candidate!

So now time to get Serious.
