I am approaching 20 years in my career and I still enjoy making products "come to life" through models and drawings. Working with various manufacturing businesses, I have learned along the way how to begin a project and attend to all details in order to create a manufacture-able product. My background as a machinist along with my CAD skills and not being afraid to pursue ideas, have allowed me to bring innovation to the table. I am fully confident in being able to provide experience, knowledge and attention to detail to any CAD projects.
