I am a mechanical/manufacturing engineer with over 15 years experience in design engineering. For the last 5 years I have served as lead mechanical design engineer various companies in the energy storage industry. For the 10 years prior to that, I worked as gauge and fixture designer for a leading firearms company, where I was tasked with plant-wide fixture and gauge design for a multitude of products. I specialize in design for manufacturability, and can tailor my designs to match your fabricating capabilities. Honesty and reliability are a few of my core principles, and you can be sure that if I tell you I'm going to do something, that thing will be done to the best of my ability.

Design for 3D printing and 3D printing projects for early product samples or as assembly verifications. Experience with pneumatics, hydraulics, robotic end of arm tools (EOAT’s), pick and place units, dial tables/indexers and various vision systems. Developed the Hercules Patient Repositioner system for The Morel Company. Morelcompany.com I have designed progressive dies for multiple companies around the world. Paper to CAD models to bring old legacy 2D CAD and paper prints into the 3D world. Reverse Engineering of existing parts, assemblies, machines. Also reverse engineer to 3D print so that multiple parts can be combined into 1 3D printed part to eliminate stocking of multiple components. I have designed a number of products that people had very rough sketches of or ideas in their head that needed to be turned into models and manufacturing drawings. Many of these are to make their life easier or in other cases to kick off their manufacturing business.
