My career has been spent interested in the next project, excited to see what innovations are waiting to be designed and built. I've been lucky enough to work on a whole host of interesting problems for some of the biggest and most innovative companies.
From groundbreaking commercial aerospace projects to cutting edge medical products, my background in design and fabrication has allowed me to work alongside talented industrial designers, engineers, and technical specialists to make awesome products.
My education offered a base to work in prototype development and provided training in a wide variety of skills that have been honed in my professional experience. My main areas of expertise include the following:
Digital & Physical Fabrication
Product Design
2D & 3D Modeling
CNC Programming, Setup, & Machining
DFA, DFMA, GD&T
Mechanism Design & Development
Micro-Mechanical Design & Engineering
My interests include a little bit of everything under the sun, but I do have my favorites.
First, I truly enjoy solving problems that help people, animals, the environment, or society in general. The next season's version of a widget will never hold up compared to a medical device that could save lives or provide treatment in comfort and dignity.
Second, I am utterly fascinated with humanity expanding beyond earth and would relish the opportunity to develop machines, tools, or spacecraft that support that effort. This is a goal that I have not yet achieved in my career and hope to meet the right opportunity one day.
Thirdly, and most evident to those that know me, I love micro-mechanical systems. This manifests in a love for horology and complex mechanical watches. Having spent a decade learning and writing about the watch industry, making my own timepiece, and designing dozens of unique mechanisms for eventual projects, I would say watchmaking is something I'll always return to.
