βIf you can Envision it, I can Create it.β
From a young age, I've been interested in making things with my hands. Constantly getting into my dad's tools, I would build whatever entered my mind's eye, out of whatever material I could find.
This desire led me to enter a precision machining apprenticeship which turned on a true aspiration for attention to detail. During my apprenticeship, some international events occurred spurring my patriotism and driving me to join the military. Enjoying the dynamic nature of the military, I decided to make it a career and after 23 years retired. During my time I attained a degree in aeronautics with an emphasis on ergonomics, as well my Certified SolidWorks Expert certificate, all the while creating in my off time.
Following retirement, civilian life proved to be a challenge. Looking for a sense of normality I turned back to creating and found it to be my form of "therapy". I truly enjoy exercising my brain during the design process of both abstract and conventional items and feel a sense of calm in the detail and organization of the build!
