Over the past 17 years, I have worked as an R&D Engineer and Project Manager in the research & development engineering field on multi-disciplinary teams of Electrical Engineers, Testing Engineering, and Tooling and Manufacturing Engineers for sporting goods and outdoor products at Lifetime Products and for Smoker Grills and Culinary Products at Traeger Grills. I have also worked on ASTM Committees for Industry Standards. Throughout my engineering career I have created, managed, designed, worked on, and helped to sell many consumer home products which have ended up on major retail sporting goods shelves as well as online stores. Many of the products I have designed have been patented (see below). I have extensive experience with 3-D modeling and surfacing CAD software (most proficient with Solid Works and Pro Engineer/Creo), GD&T, Product Definition Package Creation, product testing, product development and enhancements, plastic part design, metal part design, Welding and Welding Processes, Sheet Metal Fabrication, and engineering materials used in mechanical design.

Hyper focused on completing the task at hand. B.S. in Manufacturing Engineering Technology. Design for Manufacturability as well as Lean Processing. I don't only design for function, but to cut costs on manufacturing, cut complexity by using standard parts, and comprehension of the equipment that is going to be used to make the part.
