Sterling Robison - Engineering Manager, Goal Zero

It was very nice to work with someone who had great design ideas, but understood the benefits AND limitations of the different fabrication services we. Even though Mike wasvery knowledgeable about our fabrication processes, from laser cutting to forming/welding, he still always asked more questions and wanted to dive into deeper details/understanding.

"[Mike] nailed it with a difficult task and provided us with wonderful Solidworks designs that allowed us to get cabinets manufactured at scale, and provided us with beautiful renderings to showcase our camper on our website. He was patient with my busy schedule and sometimes slow communication, and did everything we asked. Can't recommend highly enough and we'll definitely be hiring him for future Solidworks design jobs!"

Taylor RIP - CEO, Outpost Campers

I was fortunate enough to have Mike in my team at Goal Zero, and would gladly have him back if given the opportunity. As a Mechanical Design engineer on the team he proved himself to be adaptable and innovative, while considering design for manufacture, assembly and installation.

He worked on a number of projects and was required to consider electrical, regulatory and safety aspects in his designs, he was well able to digest complex standards and requirements and incorporate into his work.

Most importantly, Mike was always willing to jump into a project and make a difference. He is willing to ask tough questions to make sure the customer's need is understood, ensuring the best design solution is achieved.
