      To sum up my favorite part of AirFlo in one word, variety. I get to have a hand in almost every aspect of the business, and it's something different every day. AirFlo brought me on to reestablish the engineering department after having been without for some time. Since starting, I’ve updated their file management system by building and administering a SolidWorks PDM file vault.

I get to have a hand in almost every aspect of the business, and it's something different every day. AirFlo brought me on to reestablish the engineering department after having been without for some time. Since starting, I’ve updated their file management system by building and administering a SolidWorks PDM file vault. The vault manages SolidWorks files, keeps up to date bills of materials and allows for standardization of various company documents. I’ve also had the opportunity to restore their R&D facility and update it to the 21st century, building a custom DAQ system using NI’s LabVIEW. Early on it was clear to me that the engineering department needed to expand to better leverage my time. Unfortunately I was not given a budget to bring on a second engineer, so I started a successful intern program that has provided a tremendous lift in engineering throughput.

      Literal and figurative trial by fire. Zeeco’s unofficial training philosophy is “Failure is an expensive but efficient teacher”. Under that philosophy I spent many long hot days and cold rainy nights learning with some of the hardest-working and most dedicated people I’ve ever met. The Test Facility at Zeeco taught me about the pace of industrial R&D, time management, leadership, and even a bit about parenting. Literal and figurative trial by fire.

      Playing in the dirt helped me discover my passion for engineering. I had no formal experience in landscape construction when I started, but quickly found myself in a supervisory role overseeing projects and work crews ranging in size from 2 to 10 people. I routinely interacted with a diverse group of workers, customers and management. One day while laying out a patio, my supervisor noticed me scribbling trig calculations in the dirt with a stick, and wondered what I was doing.
