Athlete
As a varsity track and field athlete, I balance a demanding training schedule with engineering work. Sport has made disciplined preparation, recovery, and steady improvement feel natural.
About
I build because useful ideas deserve to become real.
The products and systems I care about most are the ones that matter beyond the drawing: they make work safer, movement easier, time better spent, or an experience possible.
01
Why engineering
Making is a way to be useful.
Engineering gives me a way to take a vague need, learn what matters, and create something people can actually depend on. I am energized by work with a real purpose - projects where better design changes a task, a place, or someone's experience for the better.
That is why I am drawn to problems that require both ideas and follow-through. The most satisfying outcome is not a polished concept by itself; it is seeing a thoughtful solution become useful in someone else's hands.
02 / Off the job
The rest of the story is not extracurricular.
It is where I have learned to commit, assess risk, solve practical problems, and enjoy the work of making something last.
Outdoors & WFR
Climbing, mountaineering, and wilderness travel have taught me to plan carefully, communicate clearly, and make sound decisions when conditions change. I hold a Wilderness First Responder certification.
Maker
From repairing guitars and forging metal to building a banister, climbing wall, and custom household pieces, I make to understand how things fit together and how they eventually fail.
Teammate
Whether I am leading a maintenance project, organizing people, or working with a design team, I care about creating the conditions for good work: clear expectations, ownership, and trust.
