  Personal Journeys and Global Engineering Culture
  –“I've made some (slightly) unusual choices with my life since leaving Pittsburgh, so I think my personal journey will be of some interest. My wife and I emigrated to France 8 years ago, and we have recently become French citizens. Along the way I worked in Spain for a year, and in Germany for 18 months, not to mention 8 years working for Mitsubishi. All of which has given me some perspectives on a global engineering culture that I'd like to share.”
