On top of the previous position's roles, these are my added roles and responsibilities for my new position:I designed the JEEP Gladiator MOJAVE IFP Bump Stop and carried that technology into the aftermarket space.In this position I focus heavily on the development process. As the company grows, I am actively developing the aftermarket development process by working with a cross functional team to better hit launch dates and better understand the back end of the business. This ultimately improves shocks labor and over head costs and reduces missed launch dates.I am currently designing and implementing a standard length and modular part set to better aid our aftermarket application engineers with aftermarket shock fitments as well as improve inventory and logistical issues with in the company by reducing inventory by using fewer parts.I work on annual and quarterly budgets to implement new technologies within the aftermarket space.I design and implement FOX's full line up of shock offerings for the aftermarket. 2.0 IFP, 2.0 Remote Reservoir, 2.5 FRS, and 3.0 Internal Bypass.Multi-course training in CREO Parametric and GD&T.

My job at FOX is to communicate directly with our customers (OEM and Aftermarket) and design high performance dampers that facilitate their needs. I work within a multi-disciplinary team to create high performance, OEM and Aftermarket shock absorbers for a range of vehicles both on and off road. I have experience in designing position sensitive dampers both internal and external bypass. I have worked closely with the developers of Active and Semi-Active dampers. I have completely revamped the Aftermarket parts set to improve reliability and improve manufacturability of our shocks, while adhering to IATF standards and a Stage Gate process. For each project I take on, I am the Engineering Project Lead, Project Manager, Design Engineer, and Applications Engineer. I believe in a Cradle to Grave approach to every project I have taken on and have had great success with that strategy. I take concept to reality and test each idea to the fullest.My biggest projects to date are the JEEP JL, JEEP GLADIATOR, and GM 1500 Factory Race Series 3.0 Internal Bypass with Recirculating Reservoirs, the new Fox Aluminum Factory Race Series 2.5 Monotube Shocks, and the New 2.0 Performance Series IFP and Remote Reservoir Shocks. I have also take it upon myself to improve on current product designs like FOX's 2.0 IFP Bump Stops which have undergone a complete re-design to improve quality, seal life, manufacturability/ assembly, and reduce initial contact noise.I am an enthusiast which means I care about the customer and what they want, because I am the customer. My motto here is Race on Sunday, Design on Monday and that allows me to create products that I can be proud of and that can make customers vehicles reach a level of performance they didn't know was achievable.Primary focuses:Design EngineeringApplications EngineeringProject LeadershipProject Management

Focusing on potential new product design and development for military and commercial vehicles.• Worked in close proximity with the leaders of the Powered Vehicles Division at Fox• Explored multi-tiered damping as a potential market• Tiered approach includes vehicle suspension, seat base suspension and tuned foam architecture to absorb impact forces and promote occupant comfort• Designed and built a patent pending, mechanically attenuated seat base using a cantilever linkages and air shocks for a 2007-2017 Jeep Wrangler which will be showcased at SEMA• Performed multiple tests resulting in a decrease in forces experienced by passenger in bottom out conditions• Worked closely with Engineering, Sales, Marketing, and Project Management teams to determine target customers and design requirements• Demonstrated and presented technology to Polaris Industries and Tesla to show the potential of the product and its uses• Created concepts and designs for multiple markets that include air land and sea applications• Created detailed assembly drawings and manufacturing processes to rapid prototype seat base designs• Performed shock tear down and rebuilds in race/service center• Created shock tunes for personal and customer shocks• Wrote technical documents for patent submission and design specifications

2017 USD SAE Baja Team Captain • Team Lead: Lead a team of 14 engineers to design, fabricate, test and race an off road race car in the SAE Competition• Lead Manufacturing Engineer: Designed jigs and manufacturing procedures to finish the car 1.5 months before deadline• Lead Fabricator: Used lathes, mills, tube benders and MIG welders to fabricate parts for chassis, steering, and suspension • Designed a suspension with an optimized role center and appropriate motion ratios to facilitate 14+ inches of travel• Integrated subsystems such as drivetrain, suspension, steering, brakes, and safety components• Presented to administrative boards and alumni on campus to gain funding and interest in the project• Facilitated communication between business, marketing, and engineering students• Utilized social media and various on campus sources to market the team to generate funds through crowd funding• Managed incoming and out going funds for the project using excel• Wrote and edited technical documents and manuals to present to engineering faculty

The team consists of 14 people. I lead a group of 28 incoming students who have transferred from Junior Colleges or other Four Year Universities. I help these students in their transition to becoming a USD student. As a team member I lead group discussions, answer questions pertaining to the university and my experience as a Transfer Student, and give students a chance to branch out.

Experienced first hand the design, manufacturing, and hands on aspect of manufacturing precision heat treating furnaces used by some of the worlds most prestigious aerospace companies.• Design and manufactured precision vacuum furnaces using CAD and in house tooling such as TIG/MIG welders and metal breaks• Acquired contacts within the fabrication industry• Gained proficiency in AutoCAD through the conversion of AutoCAD drawings into 3D Solidworks models• Reverse engineered industrial blower fans to reduce costs of production and improve profits• Compiled technical documents to aid the in operation and troubleshooting of industrial vacuum furnaces

Focused on plant operations while obtaining a Mechanical Engineering education at sea. I identified problems and solved them using on board machinery and hand made parts. I oversaw and managed a team of engineers and worked with a department of 300 cadets aboard the Training Ship Golden Bear. With that, I obtained teamwork skills and rigorous military discipline while on a ship in close quarters. While underway, I evaluated and assisted students with plant maintenance and projects using my technical and hands on knowledge.• Extensive training in steam, pneumatic, hydraulic, diesel, and electrical systems• Identified problems in systems and solved them using onboard lathes and mills to produce hand made parts for repair• Obtained teamwork and leadership skills while managing a team of 5 engineers and working within a department of 300 cadets aboard the TSGB• Evaluated and assisted students with plant maintenance and projects using hand and power tools

Delivered orders to customers in a timely matter while providing great customer service. When not delivering, I maintained ingredients and restaurant cleanliness while receiving orders from customers.

• Took atmospheric data such as wind conditions, barometric pressure, and humidity to ensure the safety of the Hotair Balloon and its passengers. • Assisted in the construction of the balloon and pre flight checks.• Chased the balloon to a landing location where the hotair balloon was deflated and deconstructed.
