I learn stuff. I make stuff. I learn to make stuff. Oh, and dogs.

Hi! I'm an aerospace engineer living in the Seattle area and have been working in the industry for 20 years after graduating of Penn State University. I have worked in nearly all forms of flight from rotorcraft, at Bell Flight commercial airplanes at Boeing, and launch vehicles at Blue Origin. Anything that moves, I'm on it!

In addition to my professional interests, I am a husband, dog dad, reader, writer, and tinkerer. I like to build, tell stories, and help others do the same.

Spaceflight? Yes please! From elementary school to space camp to college, I have had a love of space and spaceflight for as long as I can remember. I have been privileged to work on crewed spaceflight for a number of years now and more recently in-space systems.

As I start filling out my blog and stories, feel free to reach out to me with your thoughts!
