Richard Hibbitts’s Summary

I have a very broad background in Engineering & Technology. I've done electro-mechanical design, research in acoustical mechanics, web development, systems integration, & project management for the Department of Defense. My main interest is in problem solving, whether that problem involves mechanical systems, electronics, or computer software. I truly enjoy the challenge that comes with learning about new systems, and implementing improvements to those systems. I prefer to be faced with new challenges rather than spend all of my time on one specific system.
Currently I'm very focused on web development & helping small business owners leverage the power of the internet to grow their business.
