  • Lunch with Russ Wicks
    December 9, 2006, 03:58 PM

    On Wednesday I had lunch with Russ Wicks. He was in Portland on business and stopped by our office for a while. I also spent some time with him at AU (and yes AU was outstanding and I am still recovering and will post on that later...). He wow'ed everyone he talked to in the booth and was signing autographs and letting people sit in his car. He's had a very interesting career and was clearly born to be the "Speed King". In July Russ broke the World Stock Car speed record and his team is currently using Inventor to design a boat to break another record. It was great fun to have him at AU since he is both a customer and a celebrity. His team pushes Inventor hard just like many of the customers I met at AU.

    More on AU next week, really. After all I just took down my Halloween decorations and need to get a Christmas Tree today before I leave on Monday to see 700 of my favorite Korean users next week in Seoul. I have a nice long plane ride to catch up on everything!

    Amy, One of the things that I think may be overlooked is that he was also using Alias software as well as Inventor.

    You are indeed correct. Shame on me for forgetting to mention that. They are using Alias to do a lot of the body design work.
