Generally I'm a person to solve your physical problems via construction, fabrication, repair, logistics, advice and facilitation.
​
I'm there for rapid prototyping, I digitally design and physically produce. I like things which don't have a precedent and might go wrong. I've specialised in mechanical and interactive exhibitions, prototyping and metal work. Integration of tech and electronics into exhibits, general carpentry, construction and on site exhibit installation. Projects include The New York Hall of Science, Cumberland Island National Park, Jones Beach Science and Education Center, Minnewaska State Park Preserve The Met, The Natural History Museum, Exploration Place (Kansas), Roseville Utility Education Center (California), Bell Labs, Nokia and TIAA among others.
