Welcome to my website
Since I was a
young boy, I was always fascinated by mobile equipment.
When I designed and built a new machine, I felt like a young boy again.
I am
a French Canadian who was born in Quebec. I got kicked out of
grade 9 school in
1973.
I did a heavy duty mechanic course in 1977 and I worked as a
heavy
duty mechanic.
until I started working in the mining industry as an underground
mechanic.
I moved
to Ontario in 1987, then later in 1994 went back to college to graduate
as a Mechanical
Engineering Technologist.
This is where I learned to read, write and speak English more fluently.
I like to design different small machines and my plans help people to built them.
All machines are computer designed in 3D then in 2D for the drawings.
I always keep the cost down and try to make the design simple.
