Mechanical Engineer
Certified SolidWorks Professional
Background
I grew up riding and racing downhill mountain bikes, which led to me dropping out of high school to take a job making bike parts at a CNC shop. Eventually, I decided to go back to school and ended up in Colorado Springs. After finishing all the classes I missed in high school, I transferred to CSU, where I graduated with a BS in Mechanical Engineering. During the last three years of my undergrad, I worked in the mountain bike industry as an engineering intern/technician with other members of the Avid team.
Currently, I spend my free time hiking with my girlfriend, exploring as much as I can of the Rocky Mountains and South West, and recording all of it through photography, with both film and digital media.
