Originally from Stamford, Connecticut, I am a passionate maker, designer, and engineer interested in human centered product design. Design methodology and collective intelligence interest me as well and I enjoy collaborating with others to create new things. When I'm not making things with my 3D printer or working on my Graphic Tee-Shirt Design company, I enjoy exploring the outdoors. Rock climbing, Skiing, Biking, Running, Backpacking, Metal detecting, and soccer which are just a few things I love to do.
