Mechanical Design Engineer

What is it that drives you in your position / why do you like doing what you do?

As an engineer I like learning how the world around me works. Starting my career immediately after college at McParlane has allowed me to grow, learn, and design the world we live in. What I love about my position is being able to see the fruits of my work in the world. I love that it is my job to ensure that everyone is comfortable, and when I do my job right no one will know. Just knowing that I am doing something that will affect people in a positive way is all the reward I need.

What do you like doing outside of work? When I’m not at work, I enjoy spending time at the beach or playing outside sports such as pickle ball, tennis, baseball, or football with my friends. I also enjoy a few indoor activities such as playing the guitar, bowling, or bar trivia.

What is your favorite food / drink / place to travel? Something else you’d rather talk about? If I could eat one food for the rest of my life, I would choose pizza.
