I am a mechanical engineer with experience in rocket engine assembly, and the manufacture of welded stainless tube and pipes. I have a diverse background in various engineering and management functions including: equipment design, laser welding, quality management, technical services and manufacturing engineering management. In my spare time I design, build, and fight combat robotics. I created the Combat Robots of Oklahoma and Rocket City Combat Robots groups where we host our own events for other builders to participate. Our events have opened the door for many people to participate in a STEM activity that is fun and highly entertaining.
