TESTIMONIALS:
“Rich has been a great contributor from the start. The shielding analysis program Rich developed early on was a huge time saver and success. He followed this up with major contributions to collimation and target design. Rich goes to the field often and works directly and effectively with both his designs and customers. Rich is a go-to problem solver.”
Andy Slayton, Global Product Sales Manager
“It is a great benefit to have Rich on the team. Rich has traveled the world and participated or lead 13 of the 15 installations of our largest and most complex system. Rich was the original engineer for the system, and so to have that level of support in the field is invaluable. “
Terry Carter, Director, World Wide Customer Service
“I have worked with Rich for 15 years on a variety of projects. One of our early efforts was the design of a replacement for an older machine that was being obsoleted. This was a huge success, and this machine has been an ongoing key financial contributor to our organization. Rich is often involved in the initial marketing discussions for new projects because of his proven cradle to grave abilities.
