In July 2008, my wife and I moved out to Portland from Boston right before the economic downturn because she earned a position in the Oregon Symphony. Since it isn’t easy to get a symphony position we jumped on this amazing opportunity to live in the Pacific Northwest.

After deciding to move to Portland, I left a promising job in Boston as a mechanical engineer. I have continued to work as an independent consultant with my previous employer in Boston and others companies since moving here. I am now looking for a position with a local company in the manufacturing sector where I can invest my energy and apply my skills.
