BioDelawarean born and bred. Went to the high school where Dead Poets' Society was filmed. I wrote a lot of poetry when I was younger, and some of it was pretty good - but some of it pretty much sucked. I went to Johns Hopkins for a Mechanical Engineering degree, and the Air Force figured they'd make me a rocket scientist. That was a lot of fun. Then they told me to manage satellite sensor contracts by day, so I did, but I also studied for a graduate degree in Systems Engineering by night. Now I work for the Applied Physics Laboratory doing missile defense threat systems analysis.
I continue to be amazed by the little things in life.
