Experience
Experienced CNC Machinist and Manufacturing Engineer with 10+ years of experience in manufacturing, including machining, CNC programming, automation and process improvement. In my spare time, I engage in 3D printing and designing custom parts for motorcycles and cars, combining technical skill with a personal passion for engineering and motorsports. Also an avid sim racer — I drive for the RacingHaus team in West Bend, WI. In addition to full-time engineering roles, I take on independent consulting work including reverse engineering of OEM automotive components via 3D scanning, prototype development, and production-ready modeling for metal manufacturing.
