Professionally, I have worked as a satellite engineer and cadet mentor in the USAFA Space Systems Research Center.  I designed and built the mobile ground station for the FalconSAT-6 flight model and preformed many flight hardware tests (among other jobs in the lab).  I prepared the Command and Data Handling Processor for integration with various flight components.  Following that, I went to flight school, where I graduated and became a C-17 pilot at Hickam AFB, Hawaii.  I accumulated over 1,500 hours and earned an Air Medal for combat missions flown during a 2019 deployment.  I worked my way up to instructor pilot, and was chosen to go back to Air Education and Training Command.  In 2021, I began to pursue a career in engineering. 
I spent a year (2021-2022) as the Nineteenth Air Force Operations Director of Staff, working for Brigadier General Oakland, Major General Wills, and Lieutenant General Robinson.  Nineteenth Air Force is responsible for all undergraduate and graduate flight training in the US Air Force.  During my Nineteenth Air Force assignment, I was accepted to transfer from the Pilot career field to the Developmental Engineering career field.
I am currently a 62E Developmental Engineer in the Munitions Division of the USAF Armament Directorate at Hill Air Force Base, Utah.  In short, I am an Air Force weapons engineer.

My long term goals include working in the commercial aerospace industry and one day flying to space myself.  I would love to help establish a permanent human presence on the lunar surface, but also to help keep Earth a habitable and safe place for humanity.
