1.What is your role at AER Technologies?
"I am a Product Engineer for the Continental, Aptiv, and Mitsubishi audio lines. I specialize in the audio products."
 
2. How long have you been with the company?
"I've been here since 1985, so in March it will make it 37 years. I've spent majority of my career here, and thanks to AER, I've been able to buy a house and put my son through college."
 
3. How did you get started in this field?
"Well before I started here, I went to DeVry Institute of Technology and then I worked on cable TV amplifiers for about two years, but after that I came straight to AER."
 
4. How has your career grown since working for the company?
Dale Brown was the one who hired me, he was one of the owners back then. I started as a technician, then I started repairing the actual equipment, then I became a manager of the powertrain products, and then I was transferred over to audio and I have been here ever since."
 
5. What is your favorite part of your job?
"Working with the people and analyzing any issues that come up. I communicate with the engineers a lot from all three manufacturing lines and I really love working with the people here!"
 
6. What has been your biggest accomplishment since starting here?
"Being able to communicate with the engineers and solve problems quickly. Growing with the company and switching from the technical side to the design and problem solving side has been a big accomplishment as well."
