I design it. I build it.
I prove it.
Then I help you scale it.
Mechanical design, tooling and fixtures, inspection, and the software that ties them together. I am a USAF veteran with 15 years on production floors and in engineering offices. I consult, I contract, and I build products of my own.
Pick your door.
Need a fixture designed, a part made buildable, or first articles inspected?
I have designed press dies, robot cells and metrology systems, and I still work the production floor every week.
Veteran-owned and registered in SAM.gov.
Six years maintaining weapons and aircraft in the Air Force taught me to build to the spec. I am also developing drone and field equipment for first responders.
I race, so I built the tools I wanted at the track.
Corner IQ turns your RaceBox or AiM data into a debrief you can use between sessions. I also design and build race parts.
What I do
Very few independent engineers have done all four. I have, and you work with me directly from the first call to the final drawing.
Design
01- Production parts and assemblies in Inventor and SolidWorks
- Die cast and sheet metal housings, released to production
- Jigs, fixtures, gauges, press dies
- Drawing packages to ASME Y14.5, iLogic-automated
Build
02- CNC programming and machining background
- Robot cells and automation layout
- Rapid prototypes in-house
- Local shop network I manage for you
Prove
03- First Article Inspection plans and reports
- CMM and probe metrology experience
- Scan-to-CAD and deviation maps
- Materials and failure testing background
Scale
04- Work instructions and standard work
- CAD templates and automation
- Shop-floor software and dashboards
- Product IP taken from prototype to production
CAD that a vendor can build from.
By day I design LED lighting products for a NASDAQ-listed manufacturer: die cast housings, sheet metal enclosures, thermal paths, optics packaging, and the drawings and tooling that get them made. The same approach goes into every part I model for a client.
- Parametric part and assembly modeling
- Die cast, sheet metal, molded, and machined DFM
- Drawing packages with GD&T to ASME Y14.5
- Reverse engineering from scans and samples
- Inventor iLogic templates and automation
- Vendor tooling reviews and first article approval

I also build my own products.
Consulting keeps me sharp. Building my own products keeps me honest about what it takes to get something to market. If you want to pilot, partner, or license, I would like to hear from you.

Drone and field equipment built around how fire, EMS and police crews actually work. Looking for pilot agencies.
Engineer, veteran, racer.
I started in Air Force weapons and aircraft maintenance, then worked my way through CNC, CMM inspection, composites testing, press dies, robot cells, and metrology system design. Today I design LED lighting products as a Senior Product Engineer at LSI Industries, a NASDAQ-listed manufacturer doing about $700M a year. Kind of a Big Dill is my own shop.
And yes, the name is a joke. The work is not.
