Testimonial
"I have had the opportunity to get to know Kai both as a student in my Biomechanics course and as a design-team member where I served as a consultant to aid in the development of their innovative device to track barbell paths to minimize injury while weightlifting. While working with Kai and his team, I was continually impressed with the progress and innovative ideas Kai had. He has a unique ability to blend creativity with practicality, ensuring that each design not only meets user needs but also aligns seamlessly with technical requirements. Mr. McClellan demonstrates an impressive balance of innovation and problem-solving, making him a true asset to any team."
