Skiing, cycling, fly fishing, auto restoration and modification, photography

My hobbies are the key ways I interact with my community and the world around me. I pay attention to the details that compliment and contrast between these activities and always look to relate things back to my engineering and design ideas. I firmly believe by being in touch with our surroundings we can find connections that allow new ideas to come to fruition, without being limited to the status quo or minimum standards. Exceeding expectations is my goal for everything I work on. My best ideas often come from removing myself physically while letting the ideas live in my head and observing other industries and activities to inspire creative solutions to the presented problems.
