About Finite Engineering

Jasen Sappenfield

Co-Founder & Engineer

Mechanical Engineer (BSME 1995, Kansas State University)

Professional Engineer (Mechanical Engineer, Kansas Registration)

As co-founder of Finite Engineering, Jasen Sappenfield believes that one of the reasons that Finite stands out is its well-developed process. While their clients may only encounter new product development every year or two, they are experienced at taking clients through the process, step by step.


Jasen has had the benefit of watching every project Finite Engineering has worked on go from concept to finished product, and one of his favorites was the Freestyle, a theme park ride that required copying an existing model, but then upgrading it with modern design.


Jasen says that you see some great character traits when you look at a team of good engineers: patience, determination, curiosity and innovation are just a few. And as for the Finite team in particular, Jasen says,
“I’m so proud to have them as members of Finite Engineering and watching what they do every day. I’m grateful.”
