Designer  Craftsmen Gearhead Problem solver  

Since I can remember, I was always working and building things with my hands, if it’s with Lego blocks or a hammer & nails, it felt natural to me.  For my 13th birthday I asked for an electric welder and by 15 I became the lead welder at my kibbutz’s milk farm, it was the first time that I was tasked to solve problems using my pre acquired skill set.

I spent the most part of my life exploring and expanding my skill set, tackling every kind of craft and material I came across from electric motors to woodwork, and a whole lot in between. 

Over time, I combined technology with a deep understanding of mechanical principles and material limitations that helped me, not just to understand the problems but also the ability to fix them.

 

Thank you.
