Shop Technicians

Eric was born and raised in Denver, CO. He loves spending time in the mountains with his family! He's got two super cute kids that you might see occasionally at the shop too. He basically knows everything, so the shop techs just use him as an info repository.

Enoch did not provide a description about himself, but there really isn't a need for one. Just look at him! He's got several cute kids and is as great of a father as he is a shop manager. He's around as much as he can be and is happy to answer any question you have.

Ty is an sophomore in electrical engineering from Tennessee. He is responsible for the shop's new website and helps mill PCBs. And yes, being from Tennessee does make him the only ten you see. When asked for a portrait photo, he took this incredible pic on the spot.

Jackson is a sophomore from Colorado studying Computer Engineering. He is the one who is updating this site and yes, he is currently writing in the third person. Gross. You can usually find him at the front desk, or in the rapid prototyping space, probably wishing he could throw the PCB mill out the nearest window (it's a good thing there are none). He also oddly types at 113 wpm. (psst, he's single)

Cael is from Oakdale, CA—the Cowboy Capitol of the World. Cael has an endless pit of a mind, full of weird and stranger projects that he brings to life in the shop. The only thing he likes more than smoked brisket is making PCBs and huffing solder fumes. It puts hair on your chest.

That's what would be Thomas' description if left to himself. Luckily he has great friends at the shop. When a comment was given about how his face has a terrible shadow on it, his reply was, "I'm on top of Timp, cut me some slack." Thomas is just cracked at everything, so ask him a question.
