Since graduating high school, I have served four years in the United States Marine Corps, and am currently finishing a B.S. in Plastics and Composites Engineering at Western Washington University. Throughout this time, I have been an avid snowboarder, become a passionate mountain biker, and done everything I can in my power to become apart of the outdoor recreation communities that permeate Bellingham, Washington and the surrounding areas. I have not let my education stop me from actively participating in, and leading, clubs at WWU like the Ski & Snowboard Club, the student chapter of the Society for the Advancement of Materials and Process Engineering, and the Alpha Kappa Psi Professional Business Fraternity. These experience, combined with my education and professional experiences at internships and in the military define the diverse skill-set that enables me to adapt and overcome challenges and perform in a wide array of positions. If I don't have the exact experiences you are seeking, I assure you, my experiences have made me a fast and focused learner capable of becoming familiar with any environment in which I find myself.

I contributed to equipment integration projects, improvement of inspection techniques, developing qualification techniques for composite structures manufactured by third party suppliers. I also contributed to providing customer solutions to conversion from metallic to composite components. In this position I worked with various manufacturing departments, operations, and engineering teams to develop and publish work instruction documentation for production and inspection operations.

Engineering Intern

Executed tasks at every stage in the ski manufacturing process including lay-up, pressing, trimming, tuning, and finishing.
Designed and created equipment and fixtures to optimize processes involved in carbon-fiber ski layup and post cure finishing operations.
Created 2-axis CNC programs as needed for optimization and production processes.
Developed methods and systems for the optimization of quality assurance operations.

My technical role was to establish and maintain encrypted and non-encrypted data communication abilities through satellite and terrestrial radio communications. This included management of medium to large scale IP networks, Microsoft domain and exchange server administration, maintaining network and information security, and providing immediate support when any of the aforementioned systems ceased to function. I learned leadership, teamwork, and professional communication skills which have directly impacted my success working with people and technology in all areas of my life.
