Currently I work as a Prototype Machinist at MacKay Manufacturing, largely building high-precision Aerospace and Medical devices using CNC Mills. Prior to this, I worked at West Coast Customs in R&D - designing and fabricating parts and other elements of some of the worlds most incredible custom vehicles using a 3D Printer, CNC Mill, Lathe, Router, and Waterjet. I also do things by hand because sometimes it just makes more sense, and I'm lucky enough to have acquired the skills to do both over the years.
Before that, I ran Salt Concept Cultivation with a partner, James Cosimini, doing product development, design, and fabrication. I've also worked as Director of Production at Happy Owl Studio, working with another outstanding team to develop a bamboo cash register, and was featured in the New York Times.
Below is just a smattering of my fabrication work and some of my design work, please contact me if you'd like to see more or discuss a project.
