I’m a mechanical engineer by degree, electrical engineer by trade, and kinda OK at a bunch of other stuff.

Currently I’m part of the team at BETA Technologies, where we’re electrifying flight by pushing the boundaries of today’s technology and developing pragmatic solutions to create a commercially viable electric aircraft.

Before moving back to Vermont, I was a Calibration Engineer at Ford, working on the 2020 Ford Explorer Hybrid, Police, Plug-in (export only), and Lincoln Aviator. I developed a lot of oddball features, including adaptive cruise control, selectable drive modes, automated parking, EV modes for the PHEV, and a lot of the HMI for hybrid operation (meters, range estimation, power flow, efficiency gamification, etc.). This involved tons of testing, instrumentation, data analysis, and systems-level knowledge.

While I was a student at UVM, I worked at a company called Laser Labs, where I designed electronics enclosures, circuit boards, and wrote code for consumer electronics.

I was part of a Formula Hybrid team called the Alternative Energy Racing Organization (AERO) for four years, and have had the opportunity to design systems, fabricate parts, collaborate with my peers, and lead a team.
