About Me

I’m an inventor and technology leader with over 36 years of experience in design, manufacturing, and software development. I’ve built my career by bringing ideas to life, combining hands-on engineering with a focus on quality, user experience, and innovation.

I started as a machinist and CNC manufacturing engineer at MIT Lincoln Laboratory, where I spent 12 years solving complex fabrication challenges. In 1999, I joined PTC and played a central role in the creation of Creo Wildfire, later becoming Vice President of PTC University.

After nearly three decades in the industry, I launched a startup, raised $7.5 million in funding with launch. I then joined Stratasys as Director of Product Design, focusing on Additive Manufacturing technology.

Today, I’m the Technical Director of Customer Success at PDSVISION, helping companies get the most out of Creo and Digital manufacturing tools.
