I'm a University of Iowa Alumni (Go Hawks!). I collect vinyl records (remember those?). I celebrated 10 years with Dassault Systemes in 2015! Even after 21 years in the engineering software industry, it’s still amazing to me that nearly every product we use in our daily lives has been simulated with software such as Abaqus FEA or CATIA Analysis. I am passionate about communicating how our customers are using realistic simulation and optimization technology to improve the safety, reliability, and performance of a broad range of products, such as safer vehicles, high-performance soccer balls, fuel-efficient composite airplanes, and innovative medical devices. I am equally enthusiastic about sharing the stories of how our team of global engineers and software developers are able to transfer their depth and breadth of engineering knowledge into our products and to our customers through training, support, and online communities.
