A mechanical engineer with a passion for design . I enjoy creating mechanisms and systems to solve problems and overcome obstacles. I have the ability and the drive to carry designs from inception through production. My experience range is broad and includes: robotics, game design, theme park ride design, museum exibit design, toy design, interactive experiences, and stages & special effects. I have worked in many multidisiplinary environments interfacing closely with artists, designers, musicians, lighting designers, museum curators, computer scientists, as well as working with vendors and clients.

I have a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering from Virginia Tech, where I focused mainly on robotics and mechanisms. I also posess a Masters in Entertainment Technology from Carnegie Mellon University, where I focused on unique physical human interface devices, game design, and themed entertainment. Additionally, I have a wide ranging amount of work experience including: the Creative Department at Walt Disney Imagineering designing innovative theme park attractions, Walt Disney Research Lab designing robotic toys, Carnegie Mellon University designing robotic video capture systems, Tait Towers designing stages and special effects for live shows, and Oceaneering Entertainment Systems designing systems for themed entertainment companies.
