Currently, I am working as a guidance, navigation, and control engineer in the commercial spacecraft industry. So...I steer spaceships. (Or at least I help write the software that does.)

Previously, I have researched technologies for use in next-generation spacecraft systems, with an emphasis on taking advantage of natural dynamics or unusual physical phenomena. My work was a mixture of laboratory experiments and simulation, including some systems engineering and design.

I have taken courses in physics, astronomy, geology, linguistics, computer science, history, and creative writing.

My hobbies include participation in Civil Air Patrol activities, some computer gaming, reading science fiction, writing and fictional world-building, and some art and photography. And making a web site about those items, of course.

That's a bit about me...poke around my web site for more!
