    A hands on design doing Industrial Designer with the desire to answer the why in design. I bring a creative leadership and detail oriented process that delivers compelling answers to today's design challenges. With a strong engineering talent and desire to create new experiences for the end user, I am able to bring quality and innovative ideas to the table.

    An exceptional product is not only born out of creative thinking but of the strong ability to match that design with the world in which it will be used. With a passion for design and keen interest in all things that move I have been able to find a place where I can hone my skills and produce great products. At National Cycle I have been able to work in collaboration with others from the powersports industry to build strong brand loyalty with high quality products.

    Making things and tinkering has always been a part of my life. I enjoy solving a good problem and the journey it takes you on. Having an opportunity to work on a variety of design projects, I feel I have a unique background that lends to my well rounded perspective in the design field.
