I recently had the great pleasure to be interviewed by someone that I met via a “Network After Work” event. Aline Guetta runs a Youtube.com channel and KQED show entitled French American TV. She invited me on her show to speak about my experience with 3D Printing in a segment she calls “All about your profession.” She has had several guest speaking about all manner of interesting tech jobs in the Bay Area.

3D Printing has always been a passion of mine ever since I was introduced to the technology back in 2004 when taking a manufacturing class at CalPoly, SLO. I was entranced by the idea that you could take a CAD drawing and feed it to a machine that would start making it for you. As a futurist, my mind began to race with all the different possibilities that could come from this.

I invested in a small 3D printer to tinker with after I got home from work and the hobby quickly became an obsession. I then invested in a bigger machine, A Makerbot 5th Gen, and started taking orders when I signed up through a website called 3D Hubs. Since then I have been taking more and more orders, while trying to build up my new endeavor as my full time occupation.

For your viewing pleasure, watch me as I geek out on the topic of 3D Printing.
