| Personal background |
|---|
Well, let's see. I was born in Dallas, Texas on Janurary 5, 1981 and lived in Denton, Texas until April of 1998; when I moved to Colorado Springs, CO. I graduated from Liberty High School on May 27, 1999. I'm into photography, mostly photographing landscapes and nature type stuff; pretty much a hobby. Doing it professionally would kick butt, but there's not a ton of money in it. I absolutely love camping and spending time outdoors. I hope to get a Jeep someday soon so I can do some off-roading and find more places to campout and kick back. I'm also into geocaching (check out my geocaching page for more info). Unfortunately, I don't have much free time to go geocaching these days. I LOVE MUSIC!!!!. I like to listen to any kind of music. I taught myself to play guitar, and have been playing for almost seven years now. I'm an Eagle Scout with a silver palm. I am an associate advisor and co-founder of Venturing Crew 62 back in Colorado Springs. They focuses on high adventure activities for guys and girls between the ages of 14 and 21. They do everything from backpacking to snowtubing to partying. They had a website, but it's gone now. I wish I could go to the meetings every so often, but they're held on Mondays which doesn't work since I'm busy with classes. I took a few classes at Pikes Peak Community College over the past couple years. In the fall of 2004, I transfered to the Colorado School of Mines where I am majoring in Mechanical Engineering. I am planning to minor in geology or something related. I am very interested in space exploration and being involved in the commercialization of space and where that will lead us in the future. I would love to work for someone in the aerospace industry. I am currently working with a space exploration research group at Mines headed by Dr. Masami Nakagawa. Where will this take me? Who knows...hopefully up.....way up. I'm starting to look at getitng an internship next summer. Dr. Nakagawa has some connections with NASA and Ball Aerospace. So we shall see.

| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
| I definitely think extraterrestrial life exists. I'm not sure how or when we will discover it, but it will be exciting when it happens; assuming the government doesn't freak out and try to take over. Possible benefits could include the sharing of technology (medical, electronics, space travel, etc), learning about another society and culture, as well as the physical aspects of the extraterrestials...if possible. I don't know if a beacon would be good or not. If it is used, location, information about what we look like, what our planet is like, what humans are like, etc. I'm running SETI@home because it's something that I can do to help out, even thought it's a small part. plus it's interesting. Even if we don't find extraterrestial life, we'll still learn something, we already have in the past. So I say keep up the good work. |
