About Me

Loads • Dynamics • Mass Properties • FAA Loads DER

I provide aircraft loads services that suit your needs. I have experience with early stage design loads, modifications and STCs, and full type certificate programs. I am an FAA DER for Part 23 aircraft level loads.

I enjoy working on challenging projects and solving difficult problems. I've spent my entire career in R&D and certification. In my spare time you'll often find me running, swimming, hiking, woodworking, flying, sailing, or traveling.

I currently live in Scotts Valley, CA with my wife, daughters, and lab retriever Bernoulli (aka Bernie). I have a BS in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Idaho and an MS in Aerospace Engineering from Virginia Tech.
