As a senior in high school I realized that drafting was a strong talent of mine. Also, that designing things was a passion. Starting with house plans, I enrolled at University of Kentucky with Architecture as my major upon HS graduation.

​

My first drafting job was part time, while attending college, in a manufacturing plant. Mostly drawing fixture designs for molding clutch facings and brake pads. After awhile, I was given my first crack at a machine design project. That's all it took to change my major to Mechanical Engineering during my second year at UK.

​

Out of college and employed at GTE Sylvania Lighting was the beginning of my career. After 5 years there I started a machine design and build company along with 2 co-engineers. One mechanical the other electrical, and named the company Versa Tech Engineering. After 22 years the company was sold and the 3 of us went our separate ways.

​

EB Design, LLC was formed, as a sole proprietorship, in 2005. From this business, another company was formed in 2016, Toy Dolly-PS, LLC. Toy Dolly products are the result of my desire to have a trailer for my motorcycle that fit the bike and would not take over the garage. Could not find what I wanted on the market, so set out to design one!

​

Over the years, I've come up with other ideas for products and have helped others develop their products. The majority of projects are industrial machine design.
