Thirty plus years of tooling experience in the aerospace industry including Northrop Grumman, Sikorsky Aircraft and GNN Aerostructures. After retiring I soon realized that I missed the challenge and intellectual stimulation of the the work that I enjoyed for my entire career. So, I formed an LLC and purchased licenses for CATIA and Solidworks and have been performing contract tool design projects for former employers and new customers alike for several years. The types of tools I have designed include: o Composite airframe components (Molds, preform tools, trim fixtures, resin transfer molds, bonding jigs) o Jigs and fixtures: major and sub-assembly tools, drill jigs, installation fixtures o Tooling for Composite air-frame components (Molds, preform tools, trim fixtures, resin transfer molds, bonding jigs, etc.) o Weld fixtures, electron beam welding tools o Ground support equipment o Machining holding fixtures o Conceptual tool designs for manufacturing planning o Inspection tools o Test fixtures

I have been using Solidworks since 2015 and have been designing on and off up until 2019. Since 2019 I have been designing full time as a mechanical design engineer. I love the process and hope to work with you in the future. If you have any questions, feel free to ask!

Strangely enough, I was a recreation therapist for almost 20 years. Prior to that, I earned a degree in fine art and then didn't do too much with it because I became more interested in psychology. Meanwhile, I've had an interest in RC cars and robotics. Leveraging an innate talent for engineering and my previous sculpting prowess, I now own and operate a boutique 3D design and 3D printing studio. From home decor and sculptural objects to machine parts and custom things, I pretty much do it all. I'm experienced in prototyping as well as fine art pieces. My primary design tools are Fusion 360, Meshmixer and Prusa Slicer. I also have 8 high-quality 3D printesr ready to fabricate prototypes or finished products. This includes full-color prints in the following materials, TPU, PLA, PETG, ASA, ABS, PC, nylon as well as reinforced and specialty polymers. I can do post-processing such as vapor smoothing, flame polishing, sealing/coating, bonding and welding.
