Victor Wowk, P.E., Principal Engineer, President

Victor Wowk, president of Machine Dynamics, Inc., is a licensed professional engineer. He graduated from the University of Michigan in 1975, Magna Cum Laude. He served two years with the U.S. Army in South Vietnam in 1969-1970 with the 1st Air Cavalry Division. He worked his way through college as a machinist/toolmaker, and still likes to crank the handles on a milling machine. He is a member of Tau Beta Pi, the National Engineering Honor Society. While in college, Victor met Rose, whom he married upon graduation. They lived on Davis Monthan Air Force Base while Victor served four years as a Missile Launch Officer in Tucson. In late 1979 they moved to Colorado where their family grew—they now have four boys. Victor worked in Loveland as a mechanical engineer at Hewlett-Packard. He was responsible for production of the FFT spectrum analyzer product line. In production, manufacturing, and facilities—he was the Corporate Vibration Engineer in Northern Colorado.

In 1987 they relocated to Albuquerque where Machine Dynamics was founded. Rose is also actively involved as the office manager. When you call MDI, you will most likely hear her greeting. She enjoys working with Victor and being involved in a successful and growing corporation.

Victor's broad background in military, industry, and private practice gives him a good perspective on the vibrations of many different classes of machines from spacecraft to common motors and pumps. He regularly applies and teaches the corrective procedures for excessive vibration and noise, i.e., vibration analysis, dynamic balancing, stiffening, precision alignment, and acoustical analysis.

Victor is a pilot and an amateur radio operator, but most of all, likes machinery, especially smooth-running machinery with little vibration.
