PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

Chief Technology Officer and Co-Founder – SPC Innovations LLC Jun 2015 – Current

Designed a new, non-toxic, child-safe, fast drying aerosol adhesive for Legos, puzzles, and arts and crafts. Successfully brought this product to market as Spray and Play, currently available on Amazon.

Worked with domestic suppliers and co-packers to bring a product to market while ASTM and CPSC testing and regulatory validation. Ensured product safety and quality through 3rd party toxicologists to meet product safety standards.

Ensured product supply chain and labeling requirements (CPSC, GS1 UPC) for our online and retail distributors.

Preformed online targeted marketing to boost sales and outreach with customers.

Manufacturing R&D Co-op – Bemis North America Jan 2016 - Aug 2016

Researched, designed, and implemented improvements on a variety of extruder, blown film, laminate, and bag forming systems for consumer packaged food and beverage goods by working with sales, engineering, and plant management.

Developed new standard operating procedures (SOPs) that would make these lines safer and more efficient.

Utilized design of experiment and failure statistics to create new materials test methods and quality assurance procedures to prevent flawed and out-of-tolerance products from reaching customers.

Assisted in installing, calibrating, and training new operators on a new Kuhne blown film biaxial oriented PET production line for food and medical products.

Skilled with polyolefins, their pertinence to flexible packaging technology, and blown film extrusion and thermoforming manufacturing technologies.

Biobased Materials Research Assistant– Michigan State University May 2013 – Jan 2016

Worked with academic and private industrial partners on biobased polymer development projects, including the creation of new hydrophilic co-polymers, smart polymers/dimers, biobased coatings/films, and polymer blends.

Set up and operated twin screw extruders and pressure reactors to develop new biodegradable polymer systems.

Skilled in design of experiment methodology, independent work habits, and technical communication.

Delivered consistent results to industry partners and graduate staff, resulting in publication of my work.

Became skilled with materials synthesis, reaction design, statistical analysis, and polymers characterization.

Utilized SolidWorks (CAD) to design new molded consumer products.

TECHNICAL SKILLS

Materials Characterization - Talented in SEM, X-ray Diffractometery, FTIR, TGA, DSC, GPC/HPLC, 1H NMR, tensile testing methods, ultrasonic inspection, dye penetrant testing, and metallography.

Manufacturing Technologies – Trained and utilized extrusion, blown film, pressure die casting, 3D printing, sand casting, forging/stamping, heat treatment, continuous casting, and powdered metal forming/sintering.

Programming/Electronics - Skilled in C#, BASIC, MATLAB, Python, and microcontroller project design. I also restore ‘retro’ computers and have experience in electronics restoration and repair.

LEADERSHIP AND OUTREACH

Event Organization – Volunteered with the Michigan State University Triathlon Club to organize ‘Farm Daze’, a bicycle ride where proceeds go to aid in the recovery of injured cyclists.

STEM Outreach – Volunteered through the Bemis Company Foundation to support local Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) programs at Wisconsin middle and elementary schools by hosting science fairs and outreach nights.
