My passion is AutoCAD. Taking an idea or a pencil scribble and turning it into something everyone can see, not just the creator, is empowering. For the past 8 years I have worked in the material handling and warehouse design industry. I had the privilege to work on multimillion dollar projects aiding in the design of automated systems, all the way down to a single rack bay for a veterinarian startup. I throughly enjoyed my time in the industry, but felt it was time to leave corporate life and focus more on life locally. No matter the size of the company or project making sure the customers needs are met and the desired visual design is achieved is paramount.

From vision to creation I excel at combining creativity with engineering. My path began studying Mechanical Engineering at Georgia Tech. Then diverged into entrepreneurship in the lumber industry where I realized a need for equipment that did not exist. I began designing and fabricating innovative new equipment for lumber processing and material handling. I invented and patented an automated processing machine for stacking lumber. It is the only modular single fork random width lumber stacking machine designed for small to medium sized production lines. I have since developed other more material specific stackers and transfer conveyors. My company now produces these and designs and fabricates specialty material handing solutions. I enjoy solving design problems. If I can help with yours please let me know. I will offer up to a few hours of free consultation to understand your need. Within 1-3 days I’m a typically on a path to a solution we feel good about or will let you know this problem isnt for me to solve.
