Global Director E-powersports - Dod, Marine, Recreational, Motorsports @Turntide Technologies

Austin, TX, US

I lead the design and deployment of Electric Drive Units (EDUs) from 55kW to 1.2MW across marine, UTV, SXS, recreational, DOD, and AG sectors. I collaborate with OEMs and retrofit engineers to deliver tailored electrification solutions.Focus Areas- Marine: Full BEV and ICE hybrid powertrains for Go-Fast boats to cargo vessels, generators, and traction drives- Motorsports: High-torque electric and diesel-hybrid systems for off-road, rock crawling, and endurance racing as well as the recreational industry- Military: Proven experience in systems and solution selling.At Turntide, we’re advancing EV conversions and OEM support for next-gen transportation, with a focus on sustainability and performance in OHV and marine sectors.Engineering Precision & PerformanceWith deep expertise in gear mechanics, torque modeling, and drivetrain design, I build high-performance systems for automotive, marine, and motorsports applications. My work includes- Diesel-hybrid electric drives- Compact planetary gear systems- High-speed electric propulsionCore Competencies- Hybrid drivetrain design (automotive & marine)- Diesel-electric systems- High-RPM electric/hybrid motorsports drives- Multi-stage gear reduction- Torque/load path optimization- Axle & spline geometry- Alloy steel selection- Compact mechanical systemsRecent Projects:Designed a Complete EDU product line for implementation into the marketSecured the first ever automotive customer for long term revenue generation.Diesel-hybrid marine power generation systemHigh-speed electric propulsion for motorsportsTorque modeling for hybrid axlesMulti-stage planetary gear systems for compact platformsMy Philosophy:I believe mechanical systems should be as elegant as they are powerful—driven by precision, performance, and purpose.Let’s Connect:If you\'re building the future of hybrid vehicles, marine systems, or electric motorsports, let’s collaborate.
