About
I am an Engineering Manager based out of Tennessee, with nearly 20 years of experience spanning industries. My professional experience includes time working in Aerospace, Aviation, Civil, General Manufacturing, Industrial Machinery Design, Recreational Vehicle and Heating & Air Conditioning. I live and breathe engineering and look forward each day to building my own skills as well as training up others with a similar love for this work.
I am a passionate engineer and started my career as a Machinist when I was just 15 years old in France. Since then, I’ve continued to play a hands-on role in designing machinery that helps customers stay competitive. I am passionate about my craft, about my team, and about helping companies do their best work.
