HONORS
Exceptional Rating
2010 performance review for the 2009 year
"Canstruction" Design Lead and construction supervisor
Judges Choice Award winning structure 2008, Honorable Mention 2009
"Canstruction" is a yearly charitable event in which companies build structures
out of canned and packaged foods. The companies compete for best structures. All
food used is donated to the local food bank. We chose to build a helicopter 200
8 and aircraft carrier 2009. I led the design and construction.
Lockheed Martin Spot Award
During Preliminary Design Review for JSF at Lockheed Martin I was awarded a spot
award for my efforts in putting together a video of the vertical landing proces
s of the JSF STOVL variant using CATIA modeling and Kinematics.
