ABOUT ME

I was born in Salt Lake City, Utah, in the year 2000, where I grew up shooting competitive Olympic archery and took over my parents garage with metal working machine tools. I did my undergrad in mechanical engineering at UC Santa Barbara where I specialized in acoustic emission testing of ceramics and machine tool design before moving to Colorado School of Mines to get my Masters. At Mines I study the thermo-mechanical  properties of open cell foam across a wide range of strain rates while designing and manufacturing laboratory tools in my home shop. 

I specialize in mechanical test, research and design manufacturing, analog circuits, mechatronics, and design of experiments.
