Design Better


I went to a great school. More than the quality of education, the aspiration of The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art is as good as it gets. It finds great engineers, great architects, and great artists and turns them into great citizens.
You see, Cooper is free for all who attend under the belief that “education should be as free as air and water“. It taught us how to be engineers; how to be problem solvers. And we joked that you didn’t pay for the degree with money…
For 15 years I worked as an engineer in high-level R&D, large scale manufacturing, product design, and higher education. I did this on two continents and three states. Along the way, I was reminded that unless I was making the world a better place, the work didn’t matter.
My education made me who I am. I’m an engineer, a designer, a machinist, a programmer, and a builder. But above all that, I’m a problem solver with a debt to pay. And I’m still working on that ‘great’ part.
