Why did you choose to do the work you do?<\/strong> <br \/> I started my career in engineering developing new products and processes. Having good software tools was increasingly important and helping engineers understand how useful technology inspired me to enter technical sales.<\/p>\n<p>&#0160;<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. What is your proudest career moment? <\/strong><br \/> Being invited to sponsor several high school students who were working on new prosthetic robotics was very rewarding to me. The result of their work will help millions of people.<\/p>\n<p>&#0160;<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. What goal inspires you most? <\/strong><br \/> I had an opportunity to meet and work with Michael Jordan on a cancer fundraiser project in Chicago. Seeing the amount of energy he invested really left a lifelong impression on me. A real team player and genuinely caring human being of that stature can really inspire you to make things happen.<\/p>\n<p>&#0160;<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. How has SolidWorks made a difference in your life?<\/strong><br \/> When I was a high school student, we lost several classmates in an automobile accident. Airbags were not available in cars back then. As an engineer, I had the opportunity to be on the airbag sensor development team. I witnessed firsthand the productivity leap when we moved from 2D to SolidWorks, the result was more people were going to benefit directly from having access to airbag technology&#8211;literally saving countless lives.<\/p>\n<p>&#0160;<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. Who\u2019s your favorite musician and why? How about athletes, or actors?<\/strong><br \/> Eric Clapton for putting his heart and soul into his work. Michael Jordan for his dedication, and Edward James Olmos for his perseverance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Name: Ross Taylor Company: SolidXperts Inc.
