I started as an intern in 1975 on the
L-1011 program in Burbank, California. It was a fine way to learn and get exposure to
engineering—good engineering. After graduation, the company brought me into
ADP, and I was assigned to the F-117 program. There, I learned much from the
"fathers" as one of us said. From there, it was one interesting task
and program after another. I was able to see and do a lot more than the average
design engineer in aerospace at the time, and I eventually received Inventor of
the Year award in 1994—a true honor. Lockheed Martin is a great company with
great products and great people. Thanks for the journey!
