About Me:

I'm an engineer who grew up in Wisconsin and went to school at the University of Minnesota. I've worked for the biggest of companies and the smallest. Now, I'm working mostly on my own projects. Outside of that, I enjoy snowboarding, wakeboarding, kickboxing, guitar, sipping craft beers on warm nights, and am trying to get into kiteboarding.


Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest

Formerly working on small, handlaunched UAVs for the DoD market, I now am focusing on consumer grade products. My background is in electronics, digital communications, control, and estimation systems. Outside of UAVs, I also work on various medical products in the same technical field (mainly electronics, signal processing and estimation).
