Bike Chain Name Plate
Before I started dental school, Emilia and I biked from Pittsburgh to Washington DC on the Greater Allegheny Passage (GAP) Trail and the C&O Canal Towpath Trail. It took us 5 days to cover the 335 miles by bike, hauling camping gear and food. The C&O Canal Towpath portion of the trip was extremely wet […]
Line Striping Start-Up
Senior year of undergrad, my best friend Jake Schroeder and I were out at dinner talking about what we wanted to do for work for the upcoming summer. We walked out of dinner committed to starting a line striping business from the ground up. We learned a LOT throughout the process. We started small – […]
College Gymnastics
I took a gymnastics class in college, and for a span of about 3 weeks I was confident jumping into a back tuck. Is my form good? No. …but I had fun in the class! I don’t fall into any single stereotype or category. I’m always looking for a new talent to learn or skill to […]

This was a fun project just before I started high school. My best friend John and I were looking for something fun to do at the end of summer. We settled on a pneumatic spud gun. The design is pretty simple, we used PVC pipe and a PVC valve. We used epoxy to seal in […]
Snow Making Machine – Mark I
If you want to see the better snowmaker project, check out my Snowmaker Mark II. This post is about my first attempt at making snow in high school. My Mark I Snow Machine was simply a garden hose and an air compressor running compressed air directly past a small trickle of water. The resulting spray […]
#7 Derby Car
This project — I must admit — I can’t take credit for. In 2003 my cub scout troop — along with troops from the surrounding area — came together for the event of the year. The Pinewood Derby! My dad – the troop leader at the time – was the visionary behind this piece. Of […]
