Matt Orley’s Summary
My classmates in school voted me Most Versatile. It seems I am living that reality. Three careers in Electrical Design, Graphics, and Manufacturing have led me through three disciplines of Engineering, Graphic Arts, and Sales, with a fair helping of people and project management thrown in for fun.
Through it all my best accomplishments seem to ride around fixing broken processes, and making operations look and run better. I am not sure WHAT this means for me, but I am enjoying the ride.
My own business? - I am still looking through my idea book for what drives me... It will happen.
