Birth of a Star

I was born and raised in Boise, ID and would like to return there when I graduate from the University of Idaho. I decided to become an engineer when I was 8, and chose electrical engineering when I was 12. I went to Boise High School where I took classes in electrical engineering. I did my first internship at a company that made flashing lights and alarms for work vehicles in my senior year of high school. I then worked the next three summers working on imagers for Micron Technologies. After deciding that I was more interested in power, I did an internship at Idaho Power for a summer, then one more at Puget Sound Energy in Seattle. I am happily engaged to the beautiful woman in the photograph below, and plan to be a married man in July of 2009!

Things I Love and Hate (in no particular order)

My Role in VAST
Most of my recent time in VAST has been spent designing and building the Affordable Reusable In-Flight Altitude Leveler, or ARIAL, along with the rest of the ever-enduring science team as well as select members from other teams.

Future
I plan to enter the workforce in the Power Utilities, but will continue to use what I have learned in VAST to feed my hobbies.
