who am i?

I'm a Mechanical Engineer and EIT based in New Brunswick. I graduated from the University of New Brunswick with a degree in Mechanical Engineering.

I like process improvement, mechanical design, and figuring out where labour actually goes on a production floor. Most of my hands-on time has been at Ganong Bros., where I built a facility-wide labour cost model still used to justify capital decisions.

I also like working on my SolidWorks certification, tinkering with robot simulation tools and picking up projects I probably won't finish on the timeline I planned.

I've previously worked at Ganong Bros., Limited and Saint John Energy.
