View Bio Dave Sanders, Regional Lab Manager

	Dave graduated high school in 1977 where he quickly ran away from Illinois and joined the Air Force for “an education and a 9 to 5 job”. After technical school for ATC Radar Maintenance, Dave learned that he had been assigned to a mobile combat unit (combat… in the Air Force… what?) and at that same time, he also realized that the 9 to 5 job his recruiter spoke of… it was a lie. After 4 years in the mob, Dave cross-trained and began supporting weather equipment at the 17 Titan II missile complexes where quiet is your friend and static electricity is not. After all the fun in the Air Force, Dave moved his family to Dallas Texas for his first civilian job- running the test and then the quality programs for Marlow Industries, a leader in the field of thermo-electrics. At Marlow, Dave had the opportunity to work with the Litton Microwave and Texas Instruments engineers in the manufacturing and testing of key components for the Cruise Missile’s guidance system- very cool stuff. Dave went on to heading up the test department at Micro-Pac, a manufacturer of optical components and also as a Metrologist for USIR where he started down the automation path of electronic test equipment. In 1992, Dave contracted as a Senior Test Engineer for Fluke Manufacturing and was solely responsible for the development of automated software to support their new Sigma Series.
