About
I am currently Senior Manager, Commercial Fast Craft and Engineering for North America & Central America at ZF Marine Propulsion Systems in Miramar, Florida. Previously, I was working as a naval architect at Brunswick Boat Group's Product Development & Engineering facility in Merritt Island, Florida. I have experience with naval architecture, product development, project management, 3D modeling and rendering, engineering design, numerical simulation and optimization, and physical testing. I have a B.S.E. in Naval Architecture from the University of Michigan and a Masters of Engineering in Product Architecture from Stevens Institute of Technology.
I am always looking for potential collaboration projects with qualified designers. Please send me a message if interested. -
