About

I endeavor to foster a fulfilling engineering career by applying my skills in a detail oriented way. My past experience has allowed me to be a well rounded engineer as well as person so that I may tackle anything that comes my way. I hope that I will continue to have a career rich in experiences that will enable me to be a more effective engineer, mentor, and colleague. My experience has been diverse, ranging from water systems and water treatment to manufacturing to the semiconductor industry. My passion has always been design, and my achievements have always centered around being innovative while having the constraints of reality placed on the project. Currently, I am looking for a new role and am open to new opportunities. I am located in the Greater Phoenix, AZ area.
