Thomas J. Pack, P.E.

Richard is a very talented leader that brings a strong technical background to complex, fast-paced product development. His people-oriented management style builds strong teams which focus on results. I have worked with him for numerous years and most recently at Cobham - ACR Electronics. I would highly recommend him for positions that require his strong array of talents.
