When I am not working at iFixit, I am attending Cuesta College to pursue my associates in Manufacturing Engineering. I have several years experience in plastics manufacturing, buying and project management in aerospace/defense manufacturing and product management. I enjoy tinkering at fixing, usually around guitars, amplifiers and effects. I have done everything from rewiring electric guitars and fixing broken audio cables to assembling guitars and amplifiers. Beyond that, much of my fixing is auto-related from routine oil changes to more complex suspension replacements and valve cover gaskets.
When not working or going to class, you can find me playing music for SLOcal heavy metal band Jovian Queen, hitting the trails on my mountain bike or on the mats at Paragon Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.
