Michael Donnell

Michael Donnell is a U.S. Navy submarine veteran. He served five years working on nuclear reactors, then used the GI Bill to get a bachelor’s degree in physics. He subsequently managed a reverse-engineering lab for a consulting firm that did tear-downs and cost modeling for the Department of Energy.

He started Measure Once Cut Once out of frustration while attempting to make a chest out of walnut. An expensive mistake had him trying to find a better way to use a miter saw. When there wasn’t one on the market, he designed the Measure Once Cut Once system.
