Ron Brook's career in vibration analysis of rotating machinery started in 1975. His stints with firms such as Nicolet Scientific, Zonic Corporation and REM Technologies all played a part in compiling a complete set of tools to use in the field. In 1993, he joined Reliance Electric at their Philadelphia Service Center. He continued to work out of the same building for the next 22 years, through corporation changes, Rockwell Automation, Baldor, and finally Integrated Power Services.
