Mechanical design specialist with 15 years of progressive responsibility in engineered products, industrial equipment, and advanced fabrication environments. I bring a unique combination of hands-on manufacturing experience, deep CAD capability, and executive-level decision-making from serving as President of a high-mix, high-complexity manufacturing company. My work spans full product lifecycle delivery, from concept modelling through production drawings, BOM structures, prototype validation, and manufacturability optimization. My core strength is translating real-world production requirements into clean, reliable, fabrication-ready mechanical designs. I have designed thousands of assemblies, weldments, machined components, sheet metal parts, and hydraulic/electrical systems used in demanding industrial and mobile equipment applications. Years of close collaboration with welders, machinists, fabricators, and field technicians ensures that my models are practical, intuitive, and production-ready on the first release. I work extensively with Autodesk Inventor and AutoCAD, including sheet metal parts, weldments, 2D drawings, and the full use of all features within the software. My deliverables include detailed manufacturing drawings, exploded views, weldment drawings, cut lists, BOMs, assembly instructions, and design packages suitable for fabrication, machining, laser cutting, and contract manufacturing. My focus is on production ready designs that work the first time. Leadership roles have added significant value to my approach. As President and engineering lead in a 50-person organization, I oversaw engineering teams, design standards, PDM systems, product development pipelines, process improvement initiatives, and cost-reduction projects. This gives me strong commercial awareness: I design for cost, speed, repeatability, and long-term maintainability. I understand how design decisions affect throughput, margins, and the total cost of ownership. Key capabilities include mechanical design, sheet metal and weldment modeling, hydraulic system integration, custom industrial equipment design, fixture and tooling development, and production engineering. I have delivered engineering work in multiple product domains: truck bodies, service vehicles, cranes, industrial tooling, structural frames, custom material-handling equipment, and commercial fabrication projects. My portfolio includes new product development, re-engineering for cost efficiency, reverse engineering of existing equipment, and modernization of legacy designs. Education includes a Bachelor of Business Administration and three semesters of mechanical engineering, supplemented by years of technical and leadership training. I bring a disciplined, quality-driven approach reinforced by both technical depth and business-level accountability. Clients can expect precise modeling, clear communication, high reliability, and work that is optimized for real-world production constraints. I deliver professional-grade design packages that reduce fabrication errors, shorten build times, and support commercial growth.
