Having grown up on a small farm in rural Idaho, I am no stranger to hard work and problem solving. Whether it was replacing a bearing on a swather or working wonders with some bailing twine, I gained a valuable intuition for mechanical systems and working with the resources available.I have since built on that intuition during my time at BYU-I, and have gained further skills in areas such as CAD, manufacturing processes, and product design. In addition, I am currently working as a Stihl Silver Technician, where I repair a variety of chainsaw, line-trimmer, and leaf blower models. This position has familiarized me with these small internal combustion engines and awakened a deep interest in their design.Whether it's repairing the power steering system in my car, designing a 3d printed ice fishing camera, or putting a small engine on a thrift store bike, I always try to have some project in my "garage". Shoot me a message and ask about my current project, I'd be happy to talk your ear off.
