who
I am a maker of stuff, both as a career and a hobby. During the day I try to create objects that are simple, elegant, and functional. After hours I make dumb stuff with blinking lights and fireballs.

what
I am an industrial designer, currently involved in advanced development for Bose. I graduated from Pratt Institute in Brooklyn NY with a BID in 1998. For six years I worked at an industrial design consultancy, followed by three more as an independent ID consultant in NYC. In January 2008 I joined the Bose Design Center in Framingham, MA.

where
I was born and raised in the suburbs of northern New Jersey, so in especially quiet moments I can hear the faint sound of Bruce Springsteen in my ears. My wife and I spent three years living in New York City, and recently moved to the “Metro West” region outside of Boston, MA.
