Originally from Jackson Hole Wyoming. I am inspired by aerospace and mechanical engineering solutions of modern life and its challenges. I attended Lehigh University's Integrated Business and Engineering (IBE) Honors Program. Participated in Lehigh Men's Rowing, Lehigh Aerospace, Lehigh Formula Society of Automotive Engineers, and Lehigh Outing Clubs. Upon completion of my studies, I was awarded two Bachelors of Science Degrees, one from the PC Rossin College of Engineering and Applied Sciences in Mechanical Engineering and a second as an Integrated Business and Engineering Mechanical Engineering Honors Program student.I took a longer route to post graduate studies. Where I learned and became a Yoga Instructor as well as an advanced Freediver. I worked as a pilot and engineer for UAV anti-poaching efforts in South Africa. As I pilot, I accumulated over 50 hours and 1000 kms of flight time while patrolling a big 5 game reserve. As an engineer, I applied python and open-source flow solvers to tailor a large, fixed wing drone to better suit its target flight envelope. In pursuit of my dream to be an engineer of spacecraft and missions, I am continuing higher education and in pursuit of Master of Aerospace Engineering at the University of Auckland New Zealand. Here I am involved with Auckland Freediving Club, University of Auckland Men's Rowing Club, University of Auckland Lacrosse Club, and Auckland University Underwater Club.
