Providing a unique blend of artistic and analytical perspectives, I am an engineer, inventor, designer and consultant. My birth surname is Lombardino, of Italian descent from Sicily, but I sometimes go by the name of my alter ego, Tommy Stark. This is due in equal parts to the fact that I look a lot like Mr. Tony Stark, aka, Ironman, aka RDJ.
