Summary
My background is in refrigeration design and drafting, but I am most proud of my contributions to the Plumbing and Mechanical design projects I was a part of around the Missoula and Bitterroot Valleys.
I stepped away from the engineering world a little over two years ago to help my family with the growth of their property management and real estate company but am eager to seek an opportunity to be involved in the world of mechanical design again!
