About Al Carpenter

From a young age, I developed a strong interest in understanding how things work, often dismantling various devices such as kitchen appliances and lawnmowers instead of engaging in typical childhood activities.

By the age of 10, I had successfully installed an alarm system at a local fishing pier, and by 12, my father recognized my passion for electronics and enrolled me in home courses focused on the subject.

At the age of 14, I achieved a significant milestone by obtaining my first US Patent for a product related to fluid transfer.

During high school, I began a four-year machinist apprenticeship, which required me to complete 8,000 hours of hands-on training to attain a Certificate and become a journeyman worker, all while earning a regular paycheck.

This practical experience has allowed me to contribute innovative solutions in various companies, leading to project cost savings. I am grateful for the wealth of resources available to me, including the knowledge and support from past and present colleagues. To me, employment has always meant finding personal satisfaction in completing projects successfully.
