Resume


	Akron Zoo
The Akron Zoo approached me to create a traveling display which would allow it's "EdZoo" team to continue to work with teachers helping dispel misconceptions and improve comprehension of scientific concepts.


	Vetiver Systems Hawaii .LLC
Vetiver Systems Hawaii is a Hawaiian-owned and operated company that provides Vetiver-based solutions to Hawaii’s erosion and contamination problems. My task was to increase productivity and decrease worker fatigue.


	Rubber Stamp Plantation
The Aloha From Hawaii Vintage Stickers were one of my first projects for the Rubber Stamp Plantation Since their conception they have remained one of the company's hottest sellers.


	Light Switch Actuator
Switch-N-Style, came from the clients love of unique interfaces. With the switch, standards were necessary to allow a universal installation. Combined with new materials and innovative engineering, we made the accessible more accessible and the cool much cooler.


	Industrial Book holder
The desire to create Usul came from many nights of sitting at my computer, balancing a large book in my lap. I tried to solve this by checking the market, but sadly nothing. I took this great opportunity to challenge myself with the task.


	Affinity LH30 for Bridgestone/Firestone®.
The Affinity LH30© was a long running project with Bridgestone/Firestone®. The unorthodox tread pattern allows water to flow through the intricate channels by force. Noise was a further concern and with computer analysis and road testing, noise reduction was achieved. The end result is a much smoother and quieter ride with a look that fits the mid to luxury markets.


	Duraforce HD for Bridgestone/Firestone®.
Duraforce HD© was a test market tire that was highly successful in the Horticulture market. By removing large amounts of material from the shoulder, weight was reduced and traction was gained. This was an essential design change for the environments this product faced.


	Design Concepts for Bridgestone/Firestone®.
Firestone was a continuous challenge. Tread patterns and sidewall designs required more work than you might think. Coming up with something new each time required much thought, process, and close attention to trends in the field.


	X- board®.
The X-Board was started with a microchip which detects movement, the challenge was to harness this movement into a portable gaming device. When you stand on the deck, the rounded bottom allows the user to pivot in all directions while the hand control detects actions.
