About Me

I designed and constructed realistic training models for doctors to practice on before ever touching a patient for more than ten years in the medical simulation industry. I learned the value of accuracy, patience, and foresight from this painstaking work, which was equal parts engineering, artistry, and problem-solving. These same abilities—managing obstacles, coordinating a team, and balancing moving components—now influence my approach to project management.

I’ve never been one to sit still for long. I’m drawn to learning—whether it’s diving into a new subject, experimenting with a better workflow, or figuring out how to coax life out of a stubborn patch of soil. That curiosity tends to spill over into everything I do. As a father, I channel it into building whimsical, sometimes over-the-top creations for my kids—contraptions, games, and worlds that exist only because we imagined them together. It’s the same energy I bring to my hobbies, whether that’s tending a garden, reading about ecology, spoiling my dogs, or fine-tuning an audio system until it’s exactly how I want it.

If there’s a thread running through all of it, it’s empathy. I’ve learned that the most effective work—whether with clients, colleagues, or kids—comes from understanding the people in front of you. It’s not just about solving problems, but seeing the bigger picture, the human side. My career may span different industries and roles, but at its core, it’s always been about creating something meaningful, thoughtful, and lasting.
