Bio
A builder, maker, and creator at heart that wants to continue expanding his knowledge and experience through new challenges. A remnant of my previous goal of becoming a veterinarian is shown by my Animal Science degree. A career redirection led to the discovery of machining and eventually engineering. Formally trained in both manual and CNC machining as well as solid modelling with various CAD/CAM software. Earned a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering Technology from Austin Peay State University to further enhance my mental toolbox. I find methods to utilize my atypical background to solve problems in unique ways.
