I am a design engineer with experience in designing products and tooling for both low- and high-volume manufacturing. Whether you need to reverse-engineer a broken component, model your on-shored product, model and render a new product or concept, produce RFQ-ready technical drawings with full GD&T, or develop quality, easy-to-use tooling/jigs/fixtures for your manufacturing line, I can do it! I am a Certified SolidWorks Professional and an expert in Fusion360 - licenses for both of which I own. In particular, I excel at building parametric, equation-driven models and design tables at the part, sub-assembly, and top-level assembly levels. I am also experienced at parametrically linking Solidworks drawings for automatic information updates. My manufacturing experience includes injection molding, thermoforming, extrusion, acoustic felt, sheet metal, steel/concrete pipe, additive manufacturing, 3-axis CNC, and product assembly. I've reverse-engineered, designed, and revised hundreds of custom products and tools. I have worked the production floor myself, so I know what to look for and ask about when designing for production. I can build small- to mid-size mechanical prototypes, such as a small prototype refrigerator that I designed and built in the second half of 2022. I have the ability to produce parts via FFF printing. I can also assist you in locating quality vendors for tooling and production. Certifications: Certified Solidworks Professional in Mechanical Design (CSWP-MD) C-8SKX4GBT3R Certified Solidworks Professional Advanced - Sheet Metal (CSWPA-SM) C-F67ZHEX3WR Certified Solidworks Professional Advanced - Drawing Tools (CSWPA-DT) C-UA37YPGQKM Solidworks PDM Professional, by GoEngineer.

Strong SolidWorks CAD skills (15+ years) for a vast range of design projects: Custom Machine/Automated machines, tooling, fixtures, dies and environmental projects. 29+ years of tool design using AutoCAD and/or SolidWorks including: Progressive dies design, single hit die design, Draw tooling design, Expand tooling design, Prototype tooling design and Fixture design. 20+ years of Product design, Product Development projects (end user part development as well as tooling to make the product), Product Rendering projects. Design for 3D printing and 3D printing projects for early product samples or as assembly verifications. Experience with pneumatics, hydraulics, robotic end of arm tools (EOAT’s), pick and place units, dial tables/indexers and various vision systems. Developed the Hercules Patient Repositioner system for The Morel Company. Morelcompany.com I have designed progressive dies for multiple companies around the world. Paper to CAD models to bring old legacy 2D CAD and paper prints into the 3D world. Reverse Engineering of existing parts, assemblies, machines. Also reverse engineer to 3D print so that multiple parts can be combined into 1 3D printed part to eliminate stocking of multiple components. I have designed a number of products that people had very rough sketches of or ideas in their head that needed to be turned into models and manufacturing drawings. Many of these are to make their life easier or in other cases to kick off their manufacturing business.

Thirty plus years of tooling experience in the aerospace industry including Northrop Grumman, Sikorsky Aircraft and GNN Aerostructures. After retiring I soon realized that I missed the challenge and intellectual stimulation of the the work that I enjoyed for my entire career. So, I formed an LLC and purchased licenses for CATIA and Solidworks and have been performing contract tool design projects for former employers and new customers alike for several years. The types of tools I have designed include: o Composite airframe components (Molds, preform tools, trim fixtures, resin transfer molds, bonding jigs) o Jigs and fixtures: major and sub-assembly tools, drill jigs, installation fixtures o Tooling for Composite air-frame components (Molds, preform tools, trim fixtures, resin transfer molds, bonding jigs, etc.) o Weld fixtures, electron beam welding tools o Ground support equipment o Machining holding fixtures o Conceptual tool designs for manufacturing planning o Inspection tools o Test fixtures

Engineers know how to draw. I know how to manufacture. With over 30 years of experience in the precision machining and aerospace industry, I bridge the gap between theoretical CAD designs and physical reality. I have engineered, programmed, and inspected custom precision components for grounded F-15/F-16 fighter jets, solid fuel rockets, and the C-17 Globemaster. I specialize in Design for Manufacturability (DFM) reviews. If you have a complex 3D CAD model, I will analyze it to identify impossible internal radii, inaccessible features, or fixturing nightmares before you waste thousands of dollars on the CNC machine. If your design looks perfect on the screen but you need to know if it will actually survive the shop floor, let's talk. Your Core Skills & Tags to Select • Design for Manufacturing (DFM) • Jig & Fixture Design • Contract Manufacturing • CNC Programming • Mastercam / AutoCAD / SolidWorks • Aerospace Tooling • Design Analysis & Validation
