Other Personal Projects

Camper Van Conversion

I purchased a barely used 2016 Ford Transit 250 and converted it into an awesome adventure camper. Gone are the days of having to set up a tent in the dark and/or rain!

Catamaran Trailer Storage Box

I designed the opening mechanism for a boat trailer storage box. The work involved using Excel to determine the optimal mounting positions of the gas springs to achieve the desired opening and closing force.

Backyard Deck

An impromptu home improvement project I found myself working on when visiting a friend.

Hang Glider Rack

A rack to transport a hang glider on a 2007 VW Rabbit, built using a modular tubing and connector system, complete with custom padded supports.

Hang gliders typically collapse down to no less than a 16 ft long package, so transporting them usually requires you to build some type of custom rig for your car.

Tube-Launched Model Rocket

Custom model rocket with auto-deploying fins that can be launched out of a potato gun, giving it an extra boost on launch.
