A bit about me

I am a mechanical engineer, a puzzle designer, and an accomplished amateur cellist. I began my career at a couple different design firms, where I cut my teeth on a wide assortment of product development projects. My most recent work has been at Roam Robotics, where I have played a major role in the development of two different robotic knee braces: Elevate (for skiers) and Ascend (a Class I medical device for people with knee pain).

Outside of work, I enjoy playing chamber music, exploring the great outdoors, designing crazy puzzles, playing tabletop games, and spending time teaching my son to be as big a nerd as I am.
