I grew up in the Lakes Region of New Hampshire where I went to school at the University of New Hampshire studying Electrical Engineering. I met my wonderful wife Luz shortly after graduating in 1998 and we both worked in Boston for a while before moving to my wife’s home state of Michigan in 2000.
Today we live in Franklin and have three amazing children-Isabella, Ian, and Olivia. They attend Birmingham Public Schools, where my wife is very involved with many years of leadership in the PTA.
I am a long-time volunteer who has led dad’s club and ski club, coached various youth sports, was a cub scout leader for Franklin’s pack 1214, and I am currently on the board of the Berkshire PTA.
I’m an electrical engineer focusing on mixed signal ASICs for the automotive industry. I have decades of real-world problem-solving experience and I have a long history of finding unique, creative solutions which balance multiple competing requirements. As a Design Manager I have developed teams, planned projects and workloads, and managed budgets.
I have lived overseas and I work daily with teams from around the globe. This has helped me develop a very strong appreciation for other cultures. I embrace cultural differences and recognize the positive impact a diverse team can make on the outcome of projects.
