REAL-WORLD ENGINEERING.
PRACTICAL SOLUTIONS.

Forge Prototyping was founded in 2016 with a simple goal: help people turn their ideas and problems into real, tangible solutions.  What started as a side venture and a love for engineering has grown into a focused business supporting inventors, startups, and small businesses with design, prototyping, and product development.

With a background in Mechanical Engineering and over 15 years of experience in aerospace and product development, I founded Forge Prototyping to combine engineering fundamentals, hands-on prototyping, and a passion for helping others bring their ideas to life.

I enjoy working through tough problems, learning new technologies, and finding practical, cost effective solutions.  Whether you're an independent inventor with a napkin sketch or a business looking for technical support, I'm here to help turn your ideas into reality.
