TCMI is a company dedicated to design and management consulting. Five areas receive the tightest focus: • Mechanical design • Design review facilitation • Engineering process development • Document management and supporting software • CAD/Network optimization I have a proven record related to oilfield mechanical design stretching back over 20 years. In February of this year I was granted a patent for real time in situ torque measurement (below). This patent was sold to Nabors Drilling. Work continues on a fastener with integrated retention and a skidding module for heavy equipment (+1200t). Other patents are in process for previous employers (Nabors, ODS). My engineering management experience, coupled with my PMP and Lead Assesor certifications give me a unique insight on the management of design. The competent execution of the design review process is one of the most important yet is often poorly executed. It provides an early opportunity to review and validate the design intent. TCMI can assist in the review of existing design review processes, the development of new processes and audit their execution. The audit process can be exhaustive an may include, gap analysis between design and requirements, design validation, CAD model interrogation and document management process execution. All of these activities are important, time intensive and are often best done by outside personnel. http://www.freepatentsonline.com/7654158.html

The Beard Family has a distinguished, business history in Modesto, CA and the surrounding area. We are proud to be able to display, as part of our legacy, a land grant to Mr. Elihu Burritt Beard (the father of our founder, T. K. Beard) dated 1861 and executed by President Abraham Lincoln for land which today remains in the Beard family. What began in the late 1800's as agriculture and farmland has evolved into a prosperous, community-respected corporation. Our first corporate endeavor dates back to 1909 when a group of Modestans proposed the Modesto-Oakdale-Newman Railroad which was given the official corporate name of Modesto Interurban Railway - the predecessor to today's Modesto and Empire Traction Company. While Beard Land Improvement Company, which currently holds the majority of our real estate assets, was not incorporated until 1963, its roots can be traced back to Modesto Interurban Railway which held land and warehouses, and to our parent company, Beard Land and Investment Co., a corporation that was founded in 1926. Beard Land and Investment Co. is comprised of two subsidiaries: Beard Land Improvement Company and Modesto and Empire Traction Company.. Through the years, steady growth and successful investments have made the Beard Companies into a model for a responsible and profitable business. To this day, Beard Land and Investment Co. continues as a family-owned corporation with over 150 shareholders.
