I design things that get used hard.Industrial design training from Iowa State, then service body engineering on utility trucks, hydraulics, and automation — plus time in the Iowa Army National Guard as a UH-60 mechanic and intelligence officer. The through-line is the same whether it's a fly-tying tool, a sheet metal enclosure, or a piece of software: find the real constraint, prototype against it, and let the field tell you what's wrong.
Design custom-fitted service bodies that mount permanently to OEM chassis for on- and off-road utility trucks.
Sheet metal design under real constraints: chassis interfaces that vary by manufacturer, structural loads, field serviceability, and manufacturability on an existing line.
This work is proprietary and isn't shown on this site. Happy to talk through the engineering in an interview.
Commissioned as a Military Intelligence Officer. Previously a UH-60 Black Hawk mechanic.
[One line on what the officer role involves that translates — analysis, briefing, planning, leading a section.]
[What systems you worked on, and what you were responsible for.]
[What equipment, what kind of service and diagnosis work.]
[Anything worth naming — senior show, honors, relevant coursework.]
