Vehicle Dynamics Lead for Mizzou Racing Formula SAE. I work on suspension geometry, damper tuning, and the aerodynamics that put load into the tires. This summer I'm at the Kansas City National Security Campus in Global Security.
Roll and heave tuned independently instead of fighting each other. Currently speccing a custom roll damper with KW that isn't in their catalog.

Vehicle Dynamics Lead. Previously led the Aerodynamics subteam.
A small farming town in Missouri, with a welder and a service manual that was usually missing.
Downhill mountain biking, skiing, and a golf game improving more slowly than I would like.
