Andrew's early years at the University of Utah set the foundation for what was to come. Earning his BS in Mechanical Engineering, Andrew equipped himself with the theoretical knowledge to embark on a career that would continuously intertwine his love for mechanics with his passion for innovation.

However, Andrew is not just your regular engineer. His weekends are as action-packed as his weekdays, if not more. When he isn't designing next-gen products, he's busy combining his professional skills with his personal passions: building full-suspension mountain bikes from scratch. Andrew's dedication to CNC machining, TIG welding, and fabrication doesn't stop at work; it extends to his garage, which he transformed into a fabrication shop. Here, amidst the hum of machinery and the aroma of hot metal, he births mountain bikes, each a testament to his skill and love for the outdoors.

His career journey saw him contributing significantly to brands like Skullcandy Inc., where he spearheaded engineering processes, redefined design reviews, and led the development of acoustically coupled, low-frequency haptic force transducers. Not just this, his early years at the company saw him delve deep into rapid prototyping, root-cause analyses, and usher in innovations in product validation.

Amazon soon recognized his prowess, bringing him onboard as a Senior Mechanical Engineer. Here, Andrew was at the forefront of groundbreaking innovations. His brilliance shone through when he designed a groundbreaking sensing technology for Amazon's Just Walk Out platforms. This state-of-the-art design not only unblocked an array of applications but also showcased his principle of moving fast, failing fast, and learning on the go.

Now, as he gears up for his latest adventure at Ribbiot as their Senior Mechanical Engineer, Andrew's excitement is palpable. The fast-paced environment, covering all facets of hardware design, is right up his alley. It's a place where he can blend his vast expertise in mechanical design, prototyping, and validation, all the while feeding his insatiable hunger for learning and growth.
