Message

At Quanta Engineering LLC, I founded and lead an engineering organization delivering multidisciplinary engineering and product development projects. I developed automated solar deployment systems that resulted in Patent Application 16/460,360, and engineered 3kW wind turbine installations.

At Marlen International, Inc, I developed a next-generation industrial food slicer, responsible for approximately 75% of its engineering and all of its FEA; the work resulted in Patent US10882203B2. I also resolved design constraints that improved machine performance by 25%, salvaged a $660,000 installation, and supported additional equipment sales.

My work has also included engineering management at Heizer Aerospace, Inc and research and instruction at the National Institute for Aviation Research. I currently conduct cybersecurity operations with the Kansas Air National Guard, and hold Professional Engineer licenses in Kansas, Missouri, and Arkansas.
