Josh B. Harbin

Technical Professional

My atypical background with degrees in both Animal Science and Mechanical Engineering has shaped me into a creative and adaptable problem solver.  My journey from aspiring veterinarian to skilled machinist to flexible engineer has equipped me with a diverse perspective.  With a strong foundation in both manual and CNC machining, as well as CAD/CAM software, I am committed to finding innovative solutions to modern engineering and manufacturing challenges.

When possible, I enjoy helping others around me.  Whether it’s sharing skillset or lending my design inputs and opinions, I am willing to do as much as possible to move the mission forward.

My wife, Alisha, who is a veterinarian, and I live on a small farm.  We have some retired AKC show dogs, barn cats, a chameleon, and a few snakes.  We enjoy spending our limited spare time with our animals and going to sporting events at the University of Tennessee.
