Over the years I've had my name mentioned in various write-ups, both online and in paper ( Eye Weekly to name one), had my robots featured in video clips on the news, and I've had a 5 minute+ interview on CBC Newsworld with Susanna Marshand as well as an interview on CHCH News
At the time of me writing this I've been consumed by the hobby for 12 years, and entered 28 competitions around North America. I have re-purposed every day items, tools, and just "junk" in general into all sorts of projects.
Keep a watch on this seldom updated website for some cool robot and other projects!

A bit about myself:
I first saw a clip of the American Robot Wars on the Discovery channel long ago and was hooked ever since. I built my first robot and competed when I was 14 at a robot sumo competition in Toronto. Graduate of the Mechanical Engineering Technology program at Niagara College, and ran the Niagara College Robotics Club (NCRC). I currently work at General Electric, where I design large motors. These motors are used in mining equipment such as walking draglines as well as rolling mills and the like. Aside from robots, I also enjoy working on cars and I've also tried my hand at building an electric go kart as well as an electric bike.
