I am a Lyons native, and I graduated from the University of Toledo with a BS in mechanical engineering and a minor in entrepreneurship. Currently, I work as a Design Engineer for an industrial automation company in Maumee. I have always had an interest in manufacturing processes, robots, machine design, and computer-aided design (CAD), and 3D printing was a great way for me to combine and explore those interests outside of work. 

I come from a mostly skilled trades family, so I'm always looking for a reason to get away from my computer and get my hands dirty. My end goal is to open either my own custom fab shop or a makerspace in the area to give the people in the community access to the tools to do virtually anything.
