I'm an expert in precision metal additive manufacturing in the aerospace, energy, medical, and defense fields. I combine experience in design, manufacturing, and process engineering to extrude digital creativity into the physical world.
Originally from Philadelphia, I hold a BS in mechanical engineering from The University of Michigan, and an MS from The University of Texas at Austin. There I worked under Dr. David Bourell at the Lab for Freeform Fabrication and published research on the design of next-generation additive heat exchangers.
While Lead Engineer for Eaton’s Additive Manufacturing Center of Excellence: we achieved AS9100D quality certification, developed multiple flying aerospace components from prototyping through serial production, and put the first printed fuel line component into a commercial jet. I authored Eaton’s global process specification for laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF) of aerospace components.
I built the application engineering team at 3DEO, leading a team of cross-functional engineers to interface with all aspects of the company: from initial customer design review through production qualification and shipment of 1M+ production parts in 2022.
I was director of Velo3D’s global Applications Development Engineering group, leading a group of engineers dedicated to customer success in engineering design, manufacturing execution, and production roll-out, as well as internal capability development and training for our our end-to-end software and hardware solutions.
When not working, I train in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and powerlifting, cook extensively, backpack and photograph the world’s backcountry, and read a bunch of (mostly) science fiction.
