I research new ways to make things through 3D printing or robotics!

STEM feels like a super power... when you can learn enough to make something like a robot or material do your bidding, it feels amazing!

Tennessee Tech University - BS in Mechanical Engineering
Virginia Tech University - PhD in Mechanical Engineering

• Thinking "Big" - what's technology is needed? 
• Reaching out - what are my colleagues up to? Can we help each other? 
• Failing Up - doing experiments, learning, and trying again!
• Taking care of business - checking as many "bureaucracy" boxes as fast as humanly possible so I can get back to the fun stuff!

I love that I can work on big problems. 

I was very proud of achieving "Distinguished Innovator" status after getting 14 patents awarded. 

I have two little boys - 4 and 6 years old. 

I would like to help develop educational content for kids (and their parents) that helps them picture themselves in STEM and Trade jobs. 

Dean Kamen - he helps and inspires so many people! 

Technical careers are tough but so worth it! 

I 3D print a lot :)
