I use CAD, simulation, and practical engineering to solve real-world problems. Here you’ll find SOLIDWORKS and FEA, home-improvement projects designed before they are built, lessons learned from the actual construction, and better ways to explain technical ideas. Occasional trips to the studio or the grill. Thanks for being here. 

For engineers, makers, homeowners, and professionals who like to understand how things work, then make them work better.
