👋 Hi, I'm Jake.

I build things that interest me, mostly related to work or moto.

I love getting into the weeds on very technical topics.

About me

I'm a licensed Professional Engineer (PE) with an MBA, based in Fresno, California. I lead Portfolio Planning & Reporting for PG&E's Building Electrification & Efficiency programs, where my team forecasts the portfolio of the future and reports actual portfolio results to the California Public Utilities Commission.

Before PG&E I spent over a decade in mechanical engineering and product development, designing equipment and products at Calmini Products and then JBT Corporation.

This site is where I keep the side projects I build in my spare time and other things that interest me.

Off the clock

Racing as #191

When I'm not at a desk, I'm usually at the track or spending time with my family. Motocross is my passion.
