Joseph A. Rhoan - Background on BrightFuse

About Me

I have been in the electronics industry for over 18 years and as you can see, I have had much expirence in this field.
I'm currently unemployed and looking for work either in the Sacramento area or in the Fresno area.
While much of my work has been in the manufacturing production area, I'm not opposed to doing field service work.
Update: Due to economics and the current sistuation at hand, had to relocate to Fresno Ca.
