Engineering

I spent over five years building rocket engines at SpaceX. I love developing precision hardware to tackle challenging problems. I have a proven track record of questioning requirements, removing complexity, and establishing reliable production systems for parts within strict timelines.

Scuba Diving

I am passionate about teaching scuba diving. I can instruct individuals with no prior experience, or enhance your skills to help you become a more proficient diver. This will enable you to access deeper, darker, and more advanced dive sites.
