About
Mechanical Design Engineer and Co-Founder of TN Elite Engineering with experience designing custom machinery, automated manufacturing equipment, robotic weld tooling, fixtures, and production systems for automotive and industrial applications.
I specialize in SolidWorks 3D modeling, mechanical design, detailed manufacturing drawings, weldments, pneumatic fixtures, robotic tooling, EOAT, BOM development, and design for manufacturing.
Before founding TN Elite Engineering, I worked as a Mechanical Design Engineer at Lincoln Electric Automation, designing automated welding equipment, custom machinery, and robotic tooling. My experience includes supporting projects from initial concept and design through fabrication, assembly, commissioning, and production-floor troubleshooting.
I hold a Bachelor of Engineering in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga.
My focus is practical, production-ready engineering—designing equipment that can be efficiently fabricated, assembled, installed, maintained, and used in real manufacturing environments.
