Mathew Busby is a Civil Engineer and member since July 2015. Most of his experience lies in wood working, with a bit on small machine tools -- if you think I can help you, just ask!

Mathew was a member at Protospace in Calgary, Alberta before moving back home to Dallas. Most of the projects he worked on at Protospace revolved around board gaming, specifically organizing them effectively. He is proud a alumnus of Southern Methodist University, Class of 2008.
