I had a dream in Memphis to own my own company. I rode a motorcycle around country in 1990 to find where to start it. I built a machine shop in a trailor and towed it to Camarillo CA and started Mobile Machine Services. I started out as just repairs and maintenance in machine shops. 3 months after starting, I rented my first shop. With in 2 years I never advertised again. I grew to a fully equipped machine shop that specialized is engineering and build production equipment for electronic companies like Interlink Electronics. A company I ended up working for after closing my company 10 years after starting it. I had to close to a lengthy divorce battle.

My shop did all machining of anything people brought me. We did maintenance and full restorations on all machine shop equipment

including specializing in pneumatic machines designed for 2nd op processe production lines.

'Designed safety production line Assy equipment.
