CURRENT MISSION

I'm unwinding after a tough semester and enjoying the next few weeks before reporting to NASA in DC.

ABOUT ME

I think unorthodox is a good descriptor for my life. I dropped out of high school at 17, joined the army at 21, got out at 24, worked as a civilian contractor for a couple of years, and spent the next few years traveling SE Asia, South America, and motorcycling the USA. I went back to school at 29, interned at NASA in 2014, and I'll intern again for them this summer. From high school dropout to NASA engineer is actually a possibility, and it kinda blows my mind.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
