I am a project manager and engineer specialized in hardtech and newspace startups, applying my transformative creativity and leadership to solve meaningful problems collaboratively with motivated, passionate teams.
Looking out for roads less traveled on the journey toward accessible space for all requires navigating tangible, physical innovation. I provide prime consulting services dedicated to space power and space hardtech, focusing on turning ambitious hardware concepts into functional mechanisms.
I apply my engineering background to advance innovative technical projects. Whether working with large agencies or directly helping small-time inventors and startups get their product ideas off the napkin and into a minimum viable product for investment and manufacture, my services include:
For the space industry to succeed, it must see a multifaceted acceleration toward commercial enablement. I contribute by leading projects, offering my knowledge, and connecting people with the physical resources and manufacturing partnerships they need to change the world.
I am persistently involved in space-tech discussions, collaborations, and publications. As part of this commitment, I host a podcast focusing strictly on space hardtech and physical product development.
Each episode dives into the realities of designing tangible hardware for extreme environments. We discuss the unique challenges of mechanical engineering in space, share lessons learned from newspace startups, and explore the future of space power. By keeping my eyes and mind open, this podcast aims to connect listeners with the actionable insights required to push physical technology forward.
My efforts in the space industry are driven by the transformative impact of opening space up for all of us (yes, including you reading this). Fostering an accessible future requires strong strategic partnerships. I actively collaborate with leading organizations to shape the industry by:
I authored the well-received book "A Guide to Mechanical Engineering: Concepts, College, and Careers", aimed toward deciding high-school and college students.
Beyond orbital mechanics and space systems, building the future requires a strong baseline in physical mechanics. This book breaks down foundational hardtech concepts and outlines the career paths available to the next generation of engineers looking to build robust physical hardware.
