I am a Lehigh Mechanical Engineer graduate with tons of hands-on experience. I believe that functionality and beauty can go hand in hand when it comes to design while making gear that can withstand the toughest environments.
I'm a recent Lehigh University mechanical engineering grad with minors in energy engineering and product design. My background is in industrial equipment design and hands-on fabrication. Combining engineering design with functional fabrication knowhow helps me make products that are simple and effective.
Designing and making my ideas come to life is something I take pride in being able to do well. You learn a lot when an aspect of a project goes wrong, and you are forced to push through and find new solutions. Being able to work through the iterative design process is incredibly important to end us with a product you are satisfied with.
Outside of work I've spent countless hours in the mountains and in the sea: leading backpacking, climbing, and surfing trips as an Outing Club officer at Lehigh as well as having fun in nature on my own. I know what gear failure looks like at 10,000 feet, and I want to design equipment that withstands heavy usage and extreme environments.

Climbing, biking, backpacking, and surfing are where I spend most of my time.
Designed and shaped an experimental surfboard from the ground up. Utilizing a wooden lattice structure, we created a board that has much more torsional response that a conventional foam board and uses significantly less petroleum products.
Capstone project for Westlake Pipe & Fittings — designed and built a test rig to evaluate an internally restrained PVC joint through cyclic pressure loading in accordance with ASTM F1674.
A 9’0” longboard shaped out of an old broken board. Shaped and glassed from start to finish using recycled foam with a hand painted stripe design and logo. Bonzer inspired fin setup. Rides like a dream.
Our Team took basic design guidelines from students at Broughal Middle School, to a fully functioning, injection molded, matchbox car. 3D CAD, CAM, and MoldFlow software was used to optimize design and produce a car that outperformed our competition.
Instructed and supervised students on safe use of woodshop and metal shop machinery and tools.
Designed and modeled improvements to overhead box conveyor systems in SolidWorks, evaluated components for manufacturability, and prototyped a tool for rapid disassembly and reassembly of tabbed conveyor chains. Surveyed winery production facilities and assisted with on-site installation and modification of industrial equipment.
Prepped materials and provided critique for students' design projects; led TIG welding lessons for the course.
Managed tasks critical to wine production; repaired and constructed tank thermostats, tools, hoses, fittings, and pipes; operated and maintained forklifts (OSHA certified).
