Testimonials

I had the pleasure of working with Michael at Vero for almost 3 years. In this time he was the chief mechanical designer for our medical device system, encompassing both a reusable portion as well as the disposible portion. Michael's depth of knowledge in the design field is impressive, to say the least. He designed and developed numerous novel concepts to meet some difficult and complex requirements. He was a great mentor to the younger design engineers, and coworkers from all groups thought highly of him for his professionalism, knowledge, ability to execute and willingness to help anywhere he could. Without Michael out system would not be where it is today. Michael seemed to relish in difficult challenges, often coming up with multiple options of an idea or a concept, and detailing the pros and cons of each option. He worked hand in hand with suppliers, both domestic and overseas to make sure the manufacturing for the design was as robust as it could be. I can wholeheartedly recommend Michael for design and development of complex electromechanical systems.
