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

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.

Growing up in an advanced mult-axis CNC machine shop and furthering my experience with studies in International Industrial Product Design Marketing and Mechanical Engineering I bring 25 years of theory and deep experience in the hands on / real world aspects of how precision industrial, medical, food processing, commercial, aerospace and consumer product products are conceptualized, prototyped and later produced and sourced. I have substantial experience in multi-axis CNC programming for high-speed, horizontal and vertical milling centers as well as multi-axis Swiss lathes (Citizen) via Mastercam. I am very well versed in a variety of materials and have years experience programming complex, multi-surfaced components to simple components, for short run prototypes, high speed, long run production and high-confidence lights out operations. In addition I have many years experience in CAD modeling and design via Solidworks 2018 including part, assembly and prints of which I also own one seat of latest 2018 version including Solid Works Simulation and the new, very impressive Solid Works Visualize. With Visualize I have the ability to not only design full solid models and assemblies but also create incredible, rendered real world pictures and images. I have designed, prototyped, sourced and brought to market several products from the ground up in various market segments including industrial, medical, food processing and aerospace. (including sheet metal, injection molded parts and of course precision machined parts with very tight tolerances). I currently own a Okuma MB-4000H Multi-Axis Horizontal Milling Center in which I can complete advanced protoypes to high speed, long run production runs. I am very confident that my education, real world experience and upbringing in a CNC environment has given me the ability to not only boldly design and or program components and products with disruptive, world class mechanical characteristics, it has given me the hands on experience to also design within the mindset of key variables like machine-ability and optimal material selection as this directly relates to final product cost. I have deep experience in optimization of solid model product design for machining and injection molding as well. I also hold several patents within the industrial and packaging spaces. I welcome any inquiry, as someone that truly enjoys this innovative space, I take projects with the assumption as if they were my own products. I embrace deep communication and work with the latest versions of all software I am versed in, with a deep emphasis on leveraging the amazing digital world we live in. I am willing to negotiate hourly rate based on the project.

I provide mechanical CAD design and additive manufacturing support for engineers, product developers, and manufacturers who need reliable, production-ready models—not conceptual sketches. My work focuses on functional parts, mechanical assemblies, and design-for-manufacturing (DFM) for additive processes. I regularly support clients with prototyping, test-fit iterations, and preparation of models for small-batch production or vendor handoff. Unlike generalist CAD freelancers, my background includes hands-on manufacturing, print validation, and QA inspection, which allows me to design parts that account for real-world constraints such as tolerances, fasteners, material behavior, and assembly requirements. Typical engagements include: • Mechanical part modeling from concept or reference • Refinement of existing CAD for manufacturability • Tolerance-aware assemblies and fastener integration • Additive manufacturing optimization (FDM-focused) • Prototype iteration and documentation support I work well with engineers, startups, and shops that value clear communication, fast iteration, and technically grounded design decisions.
