For starters, you should call and/or e-mail, or visit me, to develop your belief that I can help. Then you may wish me to sign your Non-Disclosure Agreement. Then, as a consultant, I ask for a Purchase Order made out to Diamond-Turning Consulting Co. for a minimum of 4 hours at $250 (U.S.) per hour ($1,000 minimum billing) for my services, (longer contracts may allow for downward adjustment of my hourly rate). We can then talk at length; as many calls, tasks, emails, and visits as fulfill the P.O.
Normally, I invoice you at the end of the contract, however, in longer contracts, about every 20 hours. Our first contract is billable at Net 10 with a 50% upfront charge; after that, Net 30 with a 2% discount for Net 10 is typical. For foreign clients, payment by electronic deposit is required.
43 Years Of Experience
Submarine Reactor Plant Control Console
I obtained my Engineering training, starting with 3,000 hours of Navy schools in my first 2 years. I qualified to operate Navy Nuclear Powerplants. These schools were followed by six, 70-day patrols on board a nuclear fleet ballistic missile submarine (during the Cold War), and then one year of shipyard re-fitting. Then I was honorably discharged. Then, 43+ years of Diamond-Turning and Flycutting experience in civilian factories. My Résumé is available upon request.
My wife and I are “empty nesters” now, and we have grandchildren and even some great grandchildren as the result of our 3 sons. In retirement, I have full-time concentration on my consultancy. I am building an X account that will I hope will allow for increased communications with all clients.
