In 2009 I started my career as a tool engineer supporting, primarily, the F-15 program. As time went on I got moved on to a smaller team dedicated to redesigning larger portions of the production line to make it more lean and safe.In 2013 I took a short term assignment in Sacheon, South Korea to provide on-site support for tools being built to support a large retrofit effort. I worked without supervision, integrating with the local Boeing office and Korean supplier to provide liaison and tooling support as well as acting as a "man in the field" for my team back in St. Louis.In late 2013 I moved on to the Boeing T-X program as the primary concept developer for tooling for a brand new aircraft. In the year on the program I created multiple concepts for nearly every tool required for the aircraft.In early 2015 I took an opportunity to move into R&D and presently work advanced composite manufacturing and additively manufactured tooling development.Starting in 2018, I transitioned to Boeing's Phantom Works, supporting composite fabrication.
