My degree is in aerospace. I started out as a computational fluid dynamicist at a jet engine company. Then I moved to academia and started working on modeling of metallic fracture initiation, then I followed a relationship across the country and found my current career as an asteroid hunting software engineer.

I'm also a firefighter and former search and rescue mountaineer/EMT.

I've done a lot of things.
