About Me
I'm passionate about Engineering Design and my faith. I am willing to help or lead when needed and to put in the effort to get things done well. In high school, I was an officer in FFA, FBLA, STEM Club, BETA Club, and the trapshooting team. I graduated salutatorian before going to Harding University in Searcy, Arkansas (an ABET accredited private Christian University).
During my time there, I learned a lot of things about engineering, relationships, personal-finance, and life in general. I learned the most about engineering in my senior design class during my final year there. I learned that it’s important to be confident, self-motivated, and that failure is part of the process.

Recent Work
DentiGo - Senior Design Project
DentiGo is
Based on the Rapseberry Pi Pico development board for the RP2040 microprocessor. The RP2040 was a great introduction to developing small SMD PCB's as well as parrellel programming on ARM. Research into developing this board was independently lead. But due to some life events, troubleshooting a design/manufacturing error was paused which lead to a redesign of the board.
- Technology -SMD PCB Design and C++
- Role -Quality Control and Control Subsystem Design
