About Me
Jack Ohly
Jack Ohly is a senior studying Mechanical Engineering and Communication Arts, with a concentration in Radio, Television, & Film. To Jack, these disparate majors make perfect sense together. Jack has a lifelong passion for making, and his initial interest in engineering and film came from his hobby of creating replica film props. Recent projects include HAL 9000 from 2001: A Space Odyssey and a Doctor Octopus costume from Spider-Man. To combine his two passions, Jack has created Ohlyprops, sharing his love of props with Madison. When not in the workshop or theater, Jack likes to run, read, and play jazz trombone.
My Goals
Jack would like to combine his passions for prototyping, design, and film into a career. Ohlyprops is the first step in doing this, and he hopes to continue to pursue these passions in the future. Right now, he is looking for a job for after he graduates that has opportunity for growth.
