3D CAD Designer with GM. Currently working at the Milford Proving Grounds. Past design experience, Instrument Cluster, Chassis/Suspension, Driveline Development. Currently focused on Powertrain and Shifter Test Fixtures for development and durability.

Did a stint at AM General and designed a bunch of stuff like missile Racks, Semi-Active Suspension Systems, Mine Resistant Hull Configurations, Hatches, Automatic Engine, troop compartment, chassis and suspension fire suppression systems. Stuff like that.

Owned and operated Machined Aluminum Specialties for 13 years. I developed the photo-etched wheel centers in aluminum trim ring aftermarket wheel systems in  early 1994.

At home I do more work on the 1:1 models then the smaller scales. I have a few show cars with a Pro-Touring Astro Van taking up all of my spare time at the moment. I designed and built a full chassis, front and rear suspensions, fuel cell and everything else needed to make this into what I see in my head.
