Results-oriented Mechanical Engineer with a track record of success in the defense and automotive sectors. Currently serving as a Mechanical Engineer II at Textron Systems, where I lead critical design projects for advanced military vehicles. My expertise includes conceptualizing and developing powerpacks for cutting-edge platforms like the Cottonmouth, contributing significantly to national defense initiatives.I bring a holistic approach to engineering, grounded in both academic achievement and practical experience. Graduating with a BS in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Minnesota-Duluth, I completed an all encopassing curriculum including CAD/CAM, Machine Design, Heat and Mass Transfer, and Kinematics. Elective coursework in Pipeline Engineering, Computational Fluid Dynamics, and Lean Production Management further enriched my skill set, providing a solid foundation for tackling complex engineering challenges.Prior to my engineering studies, I pursued a BA in Graphic & Exhibit Design at Bemidji State University, where I gained invaluable insights into high-level design processes. This unique background has equipped me with a creative perspective and enhanced problem-solving abilities that seamlessly translate into my engineering endeavors.Throughout my career, I've demonstrated a hands-on approach to problem-solving, leveraging my diverse skill set to deliver innovative solutions. From optimizing warehousing processes with spare gearboxes and differentials during my internship at Arctic Cat Inc., to overseeing construction projects as a Construction Laborer, I've consistently delivered results with precision and efficiency.Driven by a passion for innovation and a commitment to excellence, I am eager to leverage my multidisciplinary background and engineering expertise to drive forward-thinking projects and make a lasting impact in the field.
