Information
I have been teaching Mechanics of Materials at Iowa State since Fall 2012. I have also taught Statics, Dynamics, Introduction to Aircraft Performance and Design, and Flight Structures Analysis. I grew up in a small town in north central Iowa. I earned my BS in Engineering Science and a minor in Mathematics from Iowa State University. I earned my MS in Engineering Mechanics from Michigan State University with an emphasis in NVH (noise, vibration, and harshness). I worked at Delphi as an industrial engineer at the steering gear plant, as a test engineer and then a new development engineer for halfshafts/CV joints. Then I worked at Eaton as an NVH test engineer for superchargers. I also spent a few months at John Deere as a quality engineer for cottonpickers. You’ll find me celebrating my students’ success in their academic goals as well as in their campus organizations, athletics, musical performances, philanthropic events, etc.
