Introducing Rob Patrick

My name is Rob Patrick.  I work in the Facilities department as a construction project manager and have been at Trinity for six years.

Interests are too many to list, but the short list includes: overlanding by dual sport motorcycle, family activities, fly fishing, photography, travel and exploration, generally anything outdoors.  My professional passions are structural engineering and construction.  I have a BS degree in Animal Science and a BS in Civil Engineering...originally wanted to pursue large animal veterinary practice, but then reality set in and I got a job with a general contractor, eventually returning to academia for the engineering.

I enjoy learning new skills and working with my hands, and this class provides both.  The CAD design is an added bonus.  Plus, I might be able to make more accessories for the bikes!

My first use of a 3D printer...the grey striated piece sandwiched in the middle is a mounting plate for a Garmin GPS.  This is a closeup of the navigation tower on my motorcycle (see first photo above).

She's gone through a numerous amount of some braces and different styles each one not covering all of the bases that it needs to. There are three joints in the thumb that need to be protected. From wrist to tip of the thumb, the joints are: ·          the Carpometacarpal (CMC) Joint, ·          Metacarpophalangeal (MP) Joint, ·          and Interphalangeal (IP) Joint. most thumb braces only protect one or two, in addition, the some braces are restrictive to the point where wrist Mobility is impinged. An ideal brace would allow for the most mobility in certain directions but negate hypermobility in the wrong directions and would protect from all four...
