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. Specialties: Mechanical Design, 3D Modeling, 2D Drawing, 2D to 3D conversion, Product Design, Product Development, Project Management, New Product Development, AutoCAD Administration, SolidWorks Administration, Vault Administration.

Autodesk Inventor - Expert Autodesk Fusion 360 - Skilled Industries -Aerospace, pharmaceuticals, Defense My biggest experience is reverse engineering components that are either impossible to find at an affordable price, or simply do not exist anymore. I have successfully reproduced components 100+ years of age, all the way up to modern components to the most complex machines.

Strong SolidWorks CAD skills (15+ years) for a vast range of design projects: Custom Machine/Automated machines, tooling, fixtures, dies and environmental projects. 29+ years of tool design using AutoCAD and/or SolidWorks including: Progressive dies design, single hit die design, Draw tooling design, Expand tooling design, Prototype tooling design and Fixture design. 20+ years of Product design, Product Development projects (end user part development as well as tooling to make the product), Product Rendering projects. 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.
