Bio
Living just outside Maryville, TN where I was born and raised, I returned to the Great Tennessee Valley in Oct. 2023 to start working at ORNL after a 20 month stay in Central North Carolina where I started my engineering career working as a Junior Product Design Engineer. Outside of working with the Lab's Energy Efficiency and Sustainability Group, I work as a live music performer with a number of local bluegrass groups playing the upright bass and guitar.
