I am a Mechanical Engineer with a Bachelors degree from the Colorado School of Mines and a Master’s Degree from Kansas State University. I wrote a Thesis on cavitation in a converging diverging nozzle for a novel refrigeration process. During that project I designed a new nozzle and experiment that allowed me to measure the pressure of a fluid during cavitation. I have been working at Garmin for the past 4 years where I have designed products for their Outdoor and Sportsman product line ups.

I have always enjoyed tinkering with things. I remember my first success: In sixth grade I took apart a fully-functional remote controlled car and after putting it back together I was so excited that it actually worked! That success started a lifetime in the engineering world. I went on to get a BS in Aerospace Engineering at the University of Minnesota. I was fortunate in my career to be exposed to many parts of the manufacturing world - concept design, prototyping, design-for-manufacturing, material selection, metal and plastic molded part design, quality-by-design, 6-sigma, 5S, manufacturing machinery and processes, CAD 3-D design, CFD and FEA, and project management. Now I'm applying my skills to your project. Whether you're project is early concept, manufacturing launch, or somewhere in between, I will apply my education, experience, and creativity to your project, on-time and within budget - Mathew Torgerson
