Design + Engineering = Inspired Creation
I’m a creative thinker with a diverse, multi-industry background and a strong foundation in engineering principles. My experience spans the marine industry as well as commercial office, restaurant and retail sectors. A lifelong learner with a deep curiosity, I’m passionate about understanding how things work, how they’re constructed, how they function, and how people interact with them.
Throughout my career, I’ve designed, engineered, and built a wide array of structures, including architectural multimedia art installations, themed restaurant interiors, boats ranging from 15 to 90 feet, race cars, paddleboards, and wind-turbine blades. Each project has presented unique challenges, allowing me to master a variety of design techniques, construction methods, and systems such as AC/DC electrical, HVAC, plumbing, hydraulics, fuel, and propulsion.
My working philosophy is rooted in striking a harmonious balance between functionality, aesthetics, cost, durability, and simplicity, ensuring that every project is as practical as it is compelling.
Design + Engineering = What I do
My work
Maybe they seem completely random, or maybe the common thread is that they’re all undeniably awesome!
Custom Digital Displays and Lighting
My current work demands a strong applied knowledge of advanced lighting and digital display design principles, systems and products.
Architectural Specialties
Turn a parking garage into a canvas. Turn a moving walkway into a restaurant. Build a curved, tapered, illuminated floating wall in a skyscraper - these sort of specialties - if the GC and the architect can't figure it out, I help.
Boats
My first job was at boatyard in the heart of a centuries-old boatbuilding community. Boats have always been part of my heart, and the marine industry was my stepping-stone into the professional world of inspired creation.
Instruments
In the past several years, I've doubled down on my love of music and started creating my own instruments. I've built a few guitars. I play them alot. Music has always been a big part of my life.
