I am interesting breed of engineer, part artist part fabricator with a Mechanical Engineering degree. I see myself in the prototype and research and development spectrum of engineering/design. I love for my work to be hands-on. I enjoy taking a project from conceptualization to fabrication to testing to further development. After 15 years of cnc machine shop and mechanical engineering experience being blended together by making prototypes I have a bit of a different perspective on how things are to be made. Whether it was making race cars, custom carbon fiber bicycles, telescopes, or FIRST robots I learned and grew each time. When I am not working in my career I keep myself going by creating art pieces. I use my manufacturing experience to make custom gift such as titanium earrings and wedding glasses to my own personal bed out of black walnut and stainless steel.
