I'm an expert in precision metal additive manufacturing in the aerospace, energy, medical, and defense fields. I combine experience in design, manufacturing, and process engineering to extrude digital creativity into the physical world.
Originally from Philadelphia, I hold a BS and MS in mechanical engineering, respectively from The University of Michigan and The University of Texas at Austin, where I published research on the design of next-generation compact heat exchangers. There I worked under Dr. David Bourell at the Lab for Freeform Fabrication.
While Lead Engineer for Eaton’s Additive Manufacturing Center of Excellence, we achieved our AS9100D quality certification, developed multiple flying aerospace components from prototyping through serial production. I authored Eaton’s first global process specification for laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF) of aerospace components.
I built the application engineering team at 3DEO, leading a team of cross-functional engineers to interface with all aspects of the company: from initial customer design review through production qualification and shipment of 1M+ parts in 2022.
I currently direct Velo3D’s global Applications Development Engineering group. We are dedicated to customer success in their engineering design, manufacturing execution, and production roll-out, as well as internal capability development and training for our our end-to-end software and hardware solutions.
When not working, I train in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and powerlifting, cook extensively, backpack and photograph the world’s backcountry, and read a bunch of science fiction.
