I am an Engineer, (former) Educator, and (retired) Pro Mechanic.

I have a BS in Physics from the University of Connecticut, and I taught high school Physics and undergraduate Engineering courses for seven years to help put myself through graduate school for an MS in Electrical Engineering and an MBA from the University of Hartford.

My entire “post grad school” career has been in Systems Engineering, focusing on new product development and technical leadership in the medical device, aerospace, and automotive industries.

I was deeply involved in developmental and professional cycling programs until Covid-19 upended the sport in North America. I’m proud to have worked as a pro race mechanic with SRAM, Mavic, USA Cycling, and Cannondale p/b Cyclocrossworld.

I am based in West Hartford CT with my two rescued pitbulls, Mazey and Tony the Tiger.
