Introduction

Hello, my name is Mario Sobalvarro. I work as a Robotics Engineer at Assembly Automation Ind in Duarte CA. I have worked in the custom automated electromechanical design industry for 17 years now. I have also worked side jobs in sales and bartending. I am back at Mt SAC finishing classes to transfer to Cal Poly Pomona for BS in Mechanical Engineering. My goals for this year are to start up my own product design/engineering services side business. This semester I am taking a small business management class to help along my entrepreneurial efforts, along with this class because I like philosophy along with ancient Greek and Roman history. My outside interests and hobbies include motorcycle riding, shooting, auto mechanics, welding, 3D CAD design, hiking and the arts. I look forward to the discussions in this class.
