How I got here

Built on a trade.
Driven by learning.

My technical background began in the carpentry program at Cape Cod Regional Technical High School. I went on to start a handyman business with a friend and developed nearly a decade of carpentry experience.

Alongside that work, I repaired my own vehicles. Each unfamiliar problem became a chance to learn, eventually taking me into head-gasket work, clutch replacement, and other involved mechanical repairs.

That combination helped me move into marine service at Northside in October 2024. Today, independent electronics and embedded-systems projects give me another way to keep developing that same practical curiosity.
