Building better RC parts
while pursuing mechanical engineering

I find the world to be endlessly fascinating. I don’t believe I have ever been bored. This site is a window into how I see the world. I hope this site becomes an avenue for thoughtful discussion about our existence.

My motto, know what you don’t know first. Then learn!

About & Resume

A quick look at who I am, what I’m studying, and the skills I bring to every print and design.

Who Am I?

Systems Thinking

Several decades of hands-on diagnostics as a mechanic have given me experience with all aspects of modern design and engineering. I’ve gained substantial experience from my father and grandfather’s professions in the construction industry. I’ve spent time learning and repairing all manner of machine, whether it be for transportation or for the comfort of living. The world is full of technology that makes each of our lives more comfortable. I am never bored as I find the world fascinating.

Earning a degree in mechanical engineering is the logical next step in the evolution that is me. Having held the tech in my hands that science and engineering has created, it only makes sense that I complete my skill set with a degree in engineering.

Products Sales

I like to fill everyday items to fill gaps in our daily life. RC parts are just one component of my motivation to create through CAD Design and 3d Printing.

Automotive Diagnostics & Repair

Hands-on training · 1980 – Present

Long before a classroom, my education started under the hood and on the jobsite. Decades of automotive diagnostics, fabrication, and repair taught me how complex systems actually behave, and my father and grandfathers passed down a foundation in the construction trades — framing, fabrication, and the discipline of building things that have to work. Between the two, I learned to read machines the way others read textbooks.

  • Engine & Drivetrain Diagnostics
  • Fabrication & Welding
  • Electrical Troubleshooting
  • Construction Trades (Family-Trained)
  • Hydraulic & Mechanical Systems
  • Preventive Maintenance
