He has received numerous committee service awards and was presented with an IPC President's Award in 1994. Gonzalez holds a B.S. in mechanical engineering, and an MBA. Patty Goldman: Tino, congratulations on your Dieter Bergman IPC Fellowship Award. Constantino Gonzalez: Thank you. To be honest, I prefer other people that work with me to get it. They will get more enjoyment out of it than me because I am not one for public praise. Goldman: Well, I think you're about to get hon- ored in front of a whole lot of your peers at IPC APEX EXPO 2019. I presume you're going to attend? Gonzalez: I will. I'm going to go because I met Dieter Bergman 30 some years ago when IPC used to be in their first offices. We used to work long hours together there. He was very knowledgeable, a hard worker, and committed to the quality of the standards, which I always admired. I had the pleasure to know him, talk with him, and be a good friend of his. And I am also a good friend of his son, David Berg- man. Goldman: Yes. I'm sure that was figured into the award. They feel that you are worthy of his work ethic, or have a similar work ethic to Dieter. Gonzalez: For 37 years, I worked on IPC-610 and other standards. I always thought that I had an obligation with the electronic indus- tries around the world. They were standards that fit the budget and were fair and real in the circumstances. If you talk to some of my peers Tino Gonzalez, Training, Consulting, IPC Master Instructor 2
