The Bare (Board) Truth
In my column, I cover design, layout and engineering practices as they relate to PCB fabrication. Not only signal integrity issues, but also topics like eliminating unintentional co-planar coupling due to board real estate issues and defining the features on netlists to minimize mismatches..

I have been in the industry for 29 years. I started out in Stockton, California in 1980 - the year I graduated high school as a driller and photo tech. I moved to Santa Clara soon thereafter, and worked for Multiplex (which became ACI West). In 1993 I moved to the Pacific Northwest, where I worked at Pacific Circuits, (which became TTM) and Praegitzer Industries. I started working with Prototron in 1996, and have been with the company ever since.

I am also a pilot. I have been privileged to fly many biplanes from the 1930s and 1940s, including Fleets, Stearmans and N3Ns.
