St George, Utah, United States
I’m an experienced engineer focused on the design and development of high-performance electromechanical components, particularly solenoid valves used in aerospace propulsion and fuel systems. At RAM Company, I’ve had the opportunity to work closely with a talented team of engineers, machinists, and technicians to deliver solutions for complex flight hardware programs—supporting efforts such as the SpaceX Draco thruster and Sierra Space’s Dream Chaser vehicle. My strengths include system-level integration, precision valve design, and electromechanical actuation under demanding environmental conditions. I value collaboration, innovation, and continuous technical refinement to meet evolving industry needs. I’m always interested in advancing technologies that support space exploration, aerospace innovation, or sustainability initiatives—particularly where deep component-level knowledge can make a difference. I’m most engaged when solving challenging engineering problems and contributing to hands-on product development.
