Pete Dixon

Conceived after the airing of a Star Trek episode (original series), Pete grew up in Stillwater, OK, as a university brat. Though the Cowboy spirit is still in him, he now lives in the Pacific Northwest, and loves working in the Silicone Forest as a mechanical engineer. Pete's passion for additive manufacturing has served him well in his main career, and also in his side hustle, Pete's Custom 3D Printing. This involves mainly printing custom miniatures for the local populace in need of tabletop heroes and monsters for their D&D games or prototype game pieces. He has assisted in designing prototype parts for the board game After the Empire (now in its second print run through Gamefound.) He has also printed more mundane items such as blower-motor couplers, tube clips, and heat-gun holsters for manufacturing companies in the PNW area. He has spent nearly 20 years engineering retail, industrial, tech, and recently aerospace products.
