"The journey has to be based on passion. Put yourself in something you love to do. If you love what you do you're able to dedicate yourself, overcome obstacles." ~ Rickson GracieI’m hugely passionate about problem solving. I believe that through creativity and ingenuity, anything is possible, and I’ve always thought that this idea has empowered humanity for thousands of years to build and create mind boggling works of art, engineering, and science. If there’s one thing that people do, it is to make some really cool stuff. It’s rarely easy, but it’s almost always worth it.I’m a graduate of the University of Texas at Austin with a BS in Mechanical Engineering and a certificate in Computer Science. I spent some time working in business development at Oracle in Austin, TX and gained experience in building and managing relationships, deal progression, and sales techniques. I began my manufacturing career at Roush near Detroit, MI and learned about small volume assembly techniques and management. Currently I'm working as a manufacturing engineer for Fox Robotics in Austin, TX where I facilitate the production of autonomous fork lifts by overseeing documentation and maximizing facility capability.I’m an Eagle Scout with a love for the outdoors and have a bucket list item to visit every national park in the US. I love music and practice playing guitar in my free time, as well as design and create all kinds of things with 3D printing and electronics for fun. I’m a marathon runner (albeit a slow one) and a new practitioner of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. My biggest flaw is that I, every fall, truly believe the Dallas Cowboys will win the Super Bowl. I’ve been wrong every year of my life but as they say, a winner is just a loser who never stopped believing.
