About

I got into engineering for the thrill of taking ideas, refining them, and making them real. 

In my career I’ve done so many times over. As a consultant I have more than twenty five years of experience, ranging from developing small products including commercial and consumer cameras and instrumentation to larger systems-development projects in industrial, spacecraft, and aerospace applications. I have consulted or held leadership positions at BresslerGroup, Halliburton, Agilence, Lockheed, and CA Technology. As management, I’ve been responsible for electronics, firmware, software, and embedded systems design and development. 

I earned my Bachelors in Electrical Engineering from Drexel University, later receiving a Masters in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the same institution. Led Drexel’s Solar Car Racing Team for three years, competing in racing events worldwide. Occasionally teaching Embedded Systems to students in the University of Pennsylvania’s Department of Electrical and Systems Engineering.

You can also find me teaching whitewater kayaking at the Philadelphia Canoe Club and  performing Gilbert & Sullivan with the Savoy Company
