About

I have a passion for Mechanical Engineering, Design & Manufacturing & I love helping people and companies bring their ideas to life! I have over 20 years of mechanical engineering & design experience. My design experience includes designing parts for injection molding, punch press, press brake, machining, laser/water jet cutting, & welding. Much of my experience is also designing assemblies for various industries such as Aerial Work Platforms, Machine Tool, Automation & Robotics.

I have a background engineering in a fast-paced corporate environment. In that arena, I did design work for companies such as Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Space X, Blueorign, Ford, GM and many others. I have created several designs that have been awarded patents (10,724,657; Cable carrier guide, 9,803,721; Hybrid cable carrier chain, 9,722,402; Cable carrier guide, 7,784,259; Monolithic enclosed cable carrier). My work has embodied projects as small as a single part to complex systems containing thousands of parts.
