I worked as an engineering intern in the Center for Advance Product Evaluation division. This experience gave me both real life engineering experience and applied mechanical understanding. I designed multiple custom mounting fixtures for tests via (CAD). Additionally, I installed instrumentation in barrier crashes, supported hydraulic sled tests and static force tests, prepared strain gauges, and operated high-speed cameras.

I created and managed my own landscaping business, Ben’s Lawn Service, which I managed for eight years. I reliably served numerous repeat customers during this time. My services included: lawn mowing, hedge trimming, mulch, deck work, and tree removal. Beyond my normal scope of work, I subcontracted other companies to tackle larger projects.
