I’ve been taking things apart all my life. When I was 6 my toys hardly ever went back together, but as my education grew, so did my success rate. My goal is twofold: To understand whatever I am holding and how it works, learning from the master engineers that went before me, and to improve the design where I can. I have tailored my education and experience to keep up with my wide variety of interests, and this allows me to understand projects from a high-level perspective. While mastery in all subjects is unrealistic, I am continually striving for mastery of what I consider to be the core set of skills needed to design and build automated machinery. This core group is ever-growing with experience, but I am always on the lookout for minds or examples I can learn from.
