Engineering Project Manager

Personal Profile

Out of the box thinker and self-starter. My high work ethic has always been part of my character. Able to anticipate problems, spot opportunities, and take a proactive approach to projects. I assembled computers and websites as an 8th grader, created possibly the first car mp3 player in high school, and built my car to record breaking high horsepower in college. Looking for a career to continue my passion in engineering, innovative technologies, and green energy.
