01 Background Engineering Management
Missouri S&T

Started early, kept compounding.

I graduated high school at sixteen with sixty college credit hours through dual enrollment, which gave me a head start at Missouri University of Science and Technology where I earned my B.S. in Engineering Management.

More formative than the degree was everything around it — leadership teams inside several student organizations, and internships at Consolidated Electrical Distributors and Tesla. After graduating I completed a six-month sales engineer training program at Timken and took on the aerospace market.

I am now at Boston Dynamics, working on the commercial side of the world's most capable robots.

03 Examples of excellence Two deals,
start to purchase order

Getting to yes on hard parts.

Advanced air mobility

Standing up a new eVTOL account

After working remotely with the design engineers at a leading eVTOL manufacturer, meeting on site with the wider customer team, I set the customer up as a new sold-to inside Timken's internal systems, secured a purchase order, and worked with the prototype shop on a custom solution.

Materials engineering

Substituting steel without losing the spec

A proprietary material could not be sourced for an RFQ on an upcoming program at a major aerospace OEM. I brought a Timken metallurgist into direct discussion with the customer around the specific requirements.

After several rounds, the customer placed a purchase order against a different material meeting the same AMS specification.

Outcome — opened master service agreement negotiations to secure the supply chain for future bearings.
Outcome — influenced design authority and improved the odds of long-term share.

05 Outside of work Faith, friends,
fitness

Faith, friends, fitness.

Separate from building a career, I hold to three tenets. Faith in God and in human potential. Friends, those I have met and those I haven't yet. And fitness — building the healthiest body and mind to chase the things that matter most to me.

So whether I am working toward my pilot's license, attending a jiu-jitsu camp in Central America, or scaling one of the most beautiful hikes in the nation, I aim to do it with integrity, intentionality, and a smile.
