Summary

Education

Employment History

I have a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering and a B.A. in Fine Arts. I am practiced at communicating both analytically and visually. I have a background of leveraging skills that many find rare in engineers; as most engineers are, I am comfortable working independently and producing measurable results. Unlike most engineers I am skilled at working interdependantly, within a group and even leading in some scenarios. I am looking for the opportunity to create a group dynamic in which I can work with and learn from other engineers while producing world-class results.

Emphasis in Thermal Science and Energy Engineering • Emphasis courses include Sustainable Energy Engineering, HVAC, Wind Energy, and Integrated Energy System Analysis • Wave Energy Machine Senior Capstone • FE exam to be completed in December 2017 University of Utah

B.S. Mechanical Engineering

Emphasis in Curating

CSU Monterey Bay

B.A. Visual Public Art

Projects include the design and proposal of a Tumble Tester and Drop Tester, each costing less than $2,000. Combined they would save the company approximately $12,000 annually in product testing fees and allow analysis to be done in-house.

In coordination with a fellow intern we designed, proposed, and implimented a wall-mount for one of our units. Code Corp will be ordering 25,000 units annually, each costing $0.53 to manufacture. This product will provide a profit margin of 3,773% and bring in an annual profit of nearly $500,000. Code Corporation

I produced technical CAD drawings to be cut in house and I customized images with Adobe InDesign, Illustrator,and Photoshop to update their 2016 catalog and create their 2017 catalog. After digitizing the entire catalog I left the company in a position to nest and cut each order without any further CAD work. Dream World Design Inc

I enjoy sharing in outdoor exploration anywhere from the mountains surrounding the Salt Lake valley to the coasts of Monterey Bay with my son, Alex. We are avid skiers, and in the summer time we find new peaks from which to fly our power kite as often as we can. I enjoy helping my wife, Nichole, discover her skills as a painter as we put color to canvas. In Salt Lake I enjoy curating our yard as we transition from season to season. I enjoy group projects in which we have created small robots, and I particularly enjoy my senior capstone project. For my capstone we are furthering the research of a Wave Energy Machine, harnessing the energy of underwater vortices created by passing waves.
