About

Engineer, team leader, rocket builder.

I'm a Mechanical Engineering student at the Milwaukee School of Engineering, graduating in 2028. I've been an engineer all my life.

My foundation came from FIRST, competing in FTC and FRC through high school, where I picked up CAD in Fusion 360, Onshape, and SolidWorks along with 3D printing and machining, and learned leadership and how to work as part of a team.

At MSOE I've poured that into the High Powered Rocketry Club, where I now serve as President. I lead our design and manufacturing, grounding the team in aerodynamics fundamentals, modeling and simulating our rockets, and carrying builds from concept through launch, staging, and recovery. In my sophomore year I led the development of the first successful two-stage rocket in club history, piloting my team to 6th place at the 2026 Argonia Rocket Cup.

Alongside my studies, I mentor my former FRC team, passing on what I've learned to the next generation. In my free time you'll find me working on a range of interdisciplinary projects in Aerospace, Electronics, and Automotive engineering.
