Inventing the Future at Genesis Advanced Technology
Since January of 2020, I've probably spent more waking hours at GAT's Surrey, BC headquarters than I have anywhere else. Its a good thing then, that it has proven an incredible place to work, with valuable lessons and opportunities for growth that I've been able to take advantage of.
Genuine Connection at Vision Moto
What started as a wishful conversation became one of the most fulfilling things I've done in the last several years. Starting and managing a DIY community-focused garage has demanded a lot, but returned even more through friendships, knowledge, and genuine connection.
Falling in love with Ski Bikes
With the perfect combination of uniqueness, a set of handlebars, and going fast, it was only inevitable that I would gravitate towards ski-biking. The sport is still new in North America, which also meant I had the opportunity to push the limits with my own patent-pending design.
Older Projects
A technical writing side-gig, weird electric motor designs, and full motorcycle restorations are just a few of the ways I've spent my spare time in the last few years.

About
Over the past several years, I've continually challenged myself to confront problems that push my abilities as a mechanical designer, a leader, and a person. In doing so I've developed the skills and passion to excel as a designer.
