Ideal Job

Product Design

I spend my time outside in the woods whenever possible. It would be ideal to be able to combine my love of the outdoors with my job. Designing the gear would allow me to do stay with the engineering background and create the items I automatically design in my head. Designs started for a full suspension Mt. Bike, Alpine Ski's, Climbing Gear, Backpacking, and clothing; all while running the WPI Outing Club and organizing different trips every weekend. Since then I have been working on aftermarket vehicle modifications with a few friends. Some items completed, others still in the design phase.
