Educated at Western Washington University in Plastics Engineering Technology, I have honed an interest in learning, understanding, and improving. Through my career path, I have always strived to improve processes, improve designs, and find and drive out inefficiencies. With a background in chemistry, polymers, design, statistics and design of experiments, engineering, and operations management, I bring a wide range of skills and perspectives to projects that I am involved in. My hobbies include hiking, fly fishing, astronomy, and overlanding. Outdoor exploration makes me happy.
