My career spans the military and automotive industry. With nearly 20yrs of government experience, I understand the standards and regulations expected. Having a depth of applied background, using and troubleshooting aviation hardware and tooling, has provided a base for understanding design requirements and what will work. Working so closely with aviation and aerospace, my design concept is heavily a less is more method. I prefer lean manufacturing concepts, and strive to reduce weight and cost of all designs.
