Senior Equipment Engineer - Retired at Hella Lighting Corporation York, SC

I have known Richard Davis over 15 years. I worked with him at Hella Lighting in SC and North American Lighting in IL where I was Senior Equipment Engineer. Rich is a very skilled technician and can solve electrical, mechanical and program problems quickly. He can make sketches or prints of any part he needs and can also make them using mills, lathes or drill presses. He is excellent in keeping equipment running with a minimum of down time. He is one of the top five technicians I ever known.
