My career began in the United States Air Force as an Aircraft Mechanic This experience directed me into the civilian world for NASA during the Shuttle program. My fathers influence at IBM helped me gain employment as a software tester and eventual developer. Eventually, I acquired opportunities at NASA as a software developer. My story continues to this day as a NASA Enterprise Architect / Developer for the SOFIA, DC8 and ER2 aircraft projects.

I have been recognized for several awards including the Exceptional Space Act Award for my Enterprise Architecture solution for the SOFIA project.
