Engineering  Foundations

Smartly Sustainable

Naturally Grounded

More about me...

  • United States Green Building Council credentials

    • LEED Accredited Professional​

    • LEED Green Rater

  • Heavy interest in green building practices, design, and architecture​​

  • Researched sustainable energy solutions in the form of Microbial Fuel Cells

  • I want to help build the next evolution of smart communities and assist in the vision of a cleaner world

Striving for Self Sufficiency

  • I consider myself to be self sustaining and capable of adapting to any new environment ​​

  • It is my personal dream to own my own sustainable homestead

  • Hydroponics and aeroponics have always excited me, and will help me create a future home capable of sustainable food production 

  • A self sustainable homestead is the ultimate engineering challenge to me, where optimization of resources and output are perfectly balanced

  • Although my mind has heavy business orientation, my first tool of trade is my engineering ability

  • Professional experience in engineering solutions, documentation, and review

  • Motivated by hands on problem solving and constantly chasing invention

  • My 3D Printer is the coolest thing I own, and I constantly use it for fun projects like a fishing robot or RC car 'engine booster'

Global Perspective

  • ​Having studied abroad in Dubai, I have seen how differing world views can affect people, teams, and projects

  • Cultural exploration is crucial to understanding the world around us, and it is important to continue exploring the world and its cultures

  • My favorite part of Dubai is how rapidly mega projects have been able to be developed - it is truly  a marvel to see vast structures implemented so quickly after they've been imagined​

MICHAEL'S MIND

Engineer by trade, innovator by choice
Let's work together to shatter ceilings and curate value 

  • My mind is at rest in nature, so I escape to the natural world through camping, fishing, kayaking, and hiking

  • Involved in my local lake community through initiatives and  beach maintenance such as building boat racks, installing boat ramps, and installation of docks​

  • During the Spring and Summer months, I will be taking my kayak around local lakes in an attempt to fish new waterways

Up for Adventure

  • Get me on some groomed mountain trails! Starting off as a snowboarder, I recently learned how to ski and love spending winter months on the slopes

  • I've been known to wander off on my own, exploring the boundaries of where I am and navigating the unknown in hopes of finding something new

  • It is my goal to camp at every National Park in the United States with the ultimate goal of exploring Alaska and its untouched beauty 

Innovate.
Execute.
Deliver.

The stage is set - in 2005, in the final match of an open computer-based chess competition, a team of amateurs triumphed over a Grandmaster who was backed by a top-tier computer chess engine. Even though they were employing a less advanced chess engine and far less playing experience than the Grandmasters, they outmaneuvered the best of the best. This demonstrated a vital principle: a strategically guided collaboration between human intuition and machine precision can surpass even the most elite standalone competitors. It is my goal to refine my collaboration with AI systems, leveraging both human intuition and machine intelligence to enhance problem-solving, creativity, and strategic decision-making.
