Mission-Driven Systems Engineering.

Electrical, Mechanical, and Systems Engineer

I am a fiercely project-focused engineering executive and operator designed to tolerate heavy context switching and navigate extreme operational interruptions. My background spans aerospace, autonomous maritime vessels, and high-voltage power architectures. I prioritize mission execution above all else.

My foundational work ethic originates in New York City as a 4th-generation IBEW Local 3 Electrician. A catastrophic freight elevator accident shifted my career trajectory early on. I also served as a Heavy Rescue Firefighter, maintaining high-angle rope rescue certifications and operating heavy extrication equipment during critical vehicular response operations. I am an award-winning carpenter, formerly competing at the New York State level, and have executed high-end custom projects in prominent homes along Long Island's Gold Coast. In Boston, I taught wood-turning as an instructor at Artisans' Asylum.

Outside the workshop, I spend my time surf-fishing, fly-fishing, or running my tractor. I have a young daughter whom I intend to raise with the exact same hands-on exposure to frogs, dirt, and nature that I experienced.
