Work and experiments

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 

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. 

 I am a resident at Pneuhaus design studio. We work with companies of all sizes to create custom, impactful installations. Working with this brilliant group of designers, and 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 technology. 

Inflatable material Designer- Research and development of custom soft composites and 3D textile inflatable materials and structures. I have contributed to projects for corporations as well as DARPA, NASA, ONR, the US Army and Air-force.

Mission- Behavioral and technological solutions for free flight avian companions.

Focused on accelerating the integration of corvids (and other hardy species) into modern society in synergistic ways.

  Throughout my childhood I have built tree houses and forts, into my adulthood I have continued this practice commercially.
