SANTA CLARA, CA -- PCB West 2008 events included the presentation of the PCB Top Gun Hall of Fame Award. Each year, the PCB Top Gun Hall of Fame contest endeavors to find the top designers in the world. During two days of competition at PCB West, participants are put through a stringent battery of tests, including a written exam, personal interviews, and an actual design challenge.

This year’s winner is Gary Kipp from Intel. He is the president of the Pacific Northwest IPC Designers Council. He has been designing boards for over 15 years. He’s worked on diverse projects including CPU adapter cards, RF designs, video test cards, power supplies, PCI plug cards, memory and motherboards. Prior to joining Intel he spent two years working at a service bureau.
 
Jean Stout provided overview and coordination for the contest. Judges included last year’s winner Randy Holt from ODA, Tom Stout from ODA, the 1999 winner, Charlie Capers from Trilogy Circuits – Dallas, and Max Clark from Valor.
