With over 15 years of professional experience in the action sports industry, Army, Navy, and DoD, I posses a wide skill set of applicable knowledge.  I am a hands on Engineer.  I not only design and engineer, but I build, and like to get dirty.  I am involved in a number of Action sports in my personal life, including working as a snowboard instructor at Breckenridge.  I have worked directly with professional athletes designing gear specifically to their needs.  I also have a number of patents in my name, and have assisted numerous others obtain their own patents.  If you are in search of someone that gets the job done, above and beyond expectations, you've found them.  I do this work because I love it.
