2. PROJECTS AND EXAMPLES OF MY WORK:
Dallas Performance

5. SRT-8 Jeep Rear Mount

6. SRT-8 Jeep Rear Mount

7. CTS-V Twin Turbo

8. Porsche 4 Piston Caliper Project
Reversed engineered old damaged parts using Faro arm, DezignWorks and SolidWorks. The 3D
files for the inner and outer caliber halves and corresponding bridges were refined, molds designed,
printed, baked and prepped for pouring new parts.

10. 69 Z-28 Fresh Air Intake Project
This was built on the car using 3 inch intercooler piping and sheet metal cut and welded to fit. All
mounting tabs were flush mounted and rubber mounted.

11. 67 Chevy II Ram Air System Project
It was started with the air cleaner housing to meet the following requirements:
 Must fit 14 inch diameter high flow filter
 Desired length, width, and height while providing clearance for hood, distributor, throttle
linkage, and thermostat housing along with its associated plumbing
It was built using 3 inch intercooler piping and sheet metal cut and welded to fit. Ram air velocity
stacks were designed specifically to use as much space as possible without interfering with existing
structure, plumbing, or wiring. The hand laid carbon fiber velocity stacks fit flush with the radiator
support closeouts and behind the production grill with 5/8 inch minimum clearance. The filter is
serviceable through a hand laid carbon fiber lid that snaps tightly into place and is secured by a
wing nut in the center. This intake was accompanied by 1 5/8 inch stainless steel mandrel bent
tubing to route water from the radiator to the thermostat housing with a piece of silicon hose at each
end.

13. Large Displacement V-Twin EFI Intake Manifold Project
 3D file was provided by the customer
 Mold was designed
 Mold was printed
 Mold was baked and prepped for pouring
 Part was poured
 Part was finished machined to spec including fitment of injectors, fuel rail, and O-ring
gasket
 Part was powder coated to customer specs
 Manifold and fuel subassembly were reassembled
 The EFI unit was shipped overnight to the trade show where it was to be introduced to the
V-Twin market

15. Ducati Cases Project
Reversed engineered Ducati cases to be machined out of 6061 T6 billet material.
Design Project
Installed production gear driven centrifugal supercharger to a modern sport bike. Installed a gear of
the appropriate size in a location that could drive the supercharger. A three piece ignition cover was
designed and fabricated to locate and support the supercharger. Extensive supercharger
modifications were necessary to make it fit. A repositioned compressor housing outlet, new oiling
circuits and an oil jet at the gear to gear interface were added, and finally the bearings were
upgraded to ceramic spindle bearings to handle the increased rpms expected. Plumbing to the
pressurized air plenum included water/methanol spray system to be used as a chemical intercooler
and octane support to combat detonation. The plenum was made of hand laid carbon fiber to deal
with the pressure. The fuel system was enhanced from one end to the other to deal with the expected
50 to 60 percent power boost.

17. Multiple 3D Printing Projects
Done in house using my Z Corp 3D Printer.

18. 3D Printing Lab also includes Faro Arm and Supporting Equipment and Software

19. 2-Stroke Head Machining Project
Designed to allow for quick change combustion chambers. I only worked on the machining of these
parts.
C-Techs Locking Mechanism Project
Printed and painted prototype parts for new production tool cabinets.

20. Hayabusa Subframe Project
Printed subframe extension for street racing crowd two days after receiving the 3D file.
Investment Cast Wax Core Project
This was produced primarily on the 3D printer and then impregnated with wax.

21. Sea-Doo GTX
This 2010 PWC of the Year, GTX Limited iS 260, is a result of my last work at BRP.
 i Suspension
6 inches of travel adjustable on the fly
 Power steering
 Off throttle steering
 i Brake and reverse
Sea-Doo 3D

22. 3D - Five different dynamic experiences on one vehicle
(vert, moto, kart, shoq and knee)
Sea Doo Firsts that I had direct impact on
 First fuel injected PWC in the industry (1998)
 First direct injection PWC in the industry (2000)
 First 4-stroke PWC in the industry (2001)
 First supercharged 4-stroke PWC in the industry (2002)
 First supercharged intercooled 4-stroke PWC in the industry (2003)
1996: I worked with Honda Marine Division on PWC applications, Mitsubishi Motors on jet
boat applications and also tested rotary engines for PWC applications. Built GSX 1100
powered PWC with secondary gearbox.
1997: Chose to work at Rotax in Austria to build the first Rotax powered 4-stroke prototype
PWC
Numerous projects still being developed for production use that I was involved in since its
inception (can’t disclose yet)

23. Can-Am Spyder
 Provided dynamic evaluations at a race track early in its development
 Prepared and repaired preproduction units for demonstrations and testing

24. Can-Am ATV
Dynamic evaluation of all new platforms from prototype to pre-production stage

25. PERSONAL BIOS:
I grew up riding mini bikes and ATVs as a kid. It was no surprise
that I ended up in the motorcycle industry at a dealer that had a
progressive racing/winning culture including motocross, road
racing, flat track, and ice racing. This experience led to a full time
position building 400 plus bhp 2-stroke outboard racing engines for
sprint, drag, and offshore racing. That employment stint included
national and world championship winning engines as well as a few
out right world speed records. Direct responsibilities included
porting, blueprinting, assemblies, and dyno tuning. That led to my first business (John Huberty
High Performance) providing power solutions to racers and engine builders for 2-stroke, 4-stroke,
and rotary engines.
I had the chance to start a pre-engineering education while self employed which helped provide an
opportunity to enter the powersports industry in a research and development environment. Time
spent at Bombardier allowed positions in drivetrain development (which included working at Rotax
in Austria), advanced jet pump development, data acquisition, calibration, and testing. We ushered
in the 4-stroke wave into PWCs, jet boats, and snowmobiles. Part time training continued and a
degree in CADD was finished before a new U.S. group (Advanced Concepts) was conceived. This
group was charged with building a bridge between design and engineering and I was included from
its inception. We completed over 35 running new concepts with a large percentage seeing
production in whole or part.
Our focus at Bombardier was on high tech processes, materials, powertrain, drivetrain, suspension
and chassis dynamics. We served Sea-Doo, Ski-Doo, Jet Boats, Can-Am ATV, Can-Am Spyder and
other divisions. I completed my Bachelors of Science in Engineering Technology Operations degree
during my time in the Advanced Concepts group. I was the U.S. coordinator of that group when I
left the company to pursue a new challenge, to start a motorcycle company from scratch. That was
short lived but very eventful and provided many useful contacts which lead to the Racing Design
Solutions position. Racing Design offered engineering, reverse engineering, rapid prototyping, and
fabrication services. A significant economic slump starting in 2008 proved the demise for the new
start up business. The strong economic conditions in Dallas TX led me here.
I love the energy that comes with competition, and developing products that are class leading and
that is why I fit into your winning culture.
Thanks for your consideration.
