Founder/Director- Cora Alliance INC, research entity our Mission- Behavioral and technological solutions for the domestic crow of the future.

Aerostatic buoyancy is the principal that lifted the first human to overcome gravity in 1783. It continues to bring awe and value to our world. I have been an active certified hot air balloon pilot and balloon builder since 2009, I am also a FAA certified hot air balloon repairman working at Stumpf Balloons in Vermont. 

As an inventor I am focused on creating disruptive appropriate technology and products that endure time; like  Quadrecline™ my patented geometry for hammocks. Venture mentorship provided by  AFFOA  and MIT VMS 

Designer of Inflatable materials and construction systems for the like - Research and development of novel soft composites, 3D textiles and tools for their production. I have contributed to projects for corporations as well as DARPA, NASA, ONR, the US Army and Air-force.

 Resident Aeronaut/shop tech at Pneuhaus design studio. Pneuhaus works with companies of all sizes to create custom, experiences. Working among this brilliant group of creatives in an expansive 7500 sq ft studio gives me the space and inspiration to engage in the critical practice of testing and implementing novel uses for inflatables. 

  Throughout my youth I have built tree houses (and forts). In my adulthood I have continued this practice commercially.
