UAH
Laser Propulsion Group - I wish I
could spend a lot more time here. Thus far I have
worked to bring an NdYAG into operation, and to get
a force sensor usable within the vacuum environment.
The 1st International Symposium on Beamed Energy
Propulsion (ISBEP) was awesome! This is definitely
the career path I want to follow. Unfortunately I
don't get paid for this ( YET ) so I am having to
take a job elsewhere involving experimental optical
computers for the government\military. |

College Life:
I graduated from The University of Alabama in Huntsville with a B.S.E. degree in Optical Engineering (December 2003). In August of 1997 I earned my Amateur Radio
License (KF4TTC) and then upgraded in 2003 to an Extra Class
license (AI4OE). The greatest thing that I am thankful for happened November of 1998,
when I was baptized into Christ and thus began my Christian walk. While
in college I have been blessed with many wonderful lifelong friends,
mainly from the Honor's program and Christian Student Organization (CSO). Currently I am a member of SPIE (International
Society For Optical Engineers), OSA (Optical Society of America) and the
CSO at UAH (CSO). During the summer of 1996 I also attended the University of New Mexico as a
part of an American Indian program called TRIBES.
Pre-High school Activities:
I have lived in the Huntsville /
Madison county area most of my life. I went to McDonnell Elementary School in Huntsville
from K-4 (1983 - 1988) (Hey Amber Babb,
Joel Walters, Kevin Stott, Phillip Rodgers, Allison Davis, Philip
Rideout, Javier Mancha, Anastacio Moncada, Marcus Spicer, Paula Haney,
Veronica, Sonny, Bruno, Shane, Eli, and a bunch others that I'll add
later, write me you guys! ), and then moved to Toney where I went to Madison Cross Roads Elem./Middle. I
played viola and violin in the String Orchestra throughout middle school under the
direction of Oscar Newman, along with alto-saxophone in the Sparkman High Marching Band
under the direction of Don Peck. Also at MXR I played soccer for 2 seasons, baseball 1
season, and was selected for the Duke University TIP program.
High School Activities:
(VISIT THE
SHS CLASS OF 96 SITE)
I went to Sparkman High School from
1992 - 1996. While at SHS I played Alto-Sax and Guitar in the marching, concert, and jazz
(Northwest Madison County Co-op Jazz Ensemble) band's, under the new leadership of Debbie
Hutson. I ran in Track a season, and went to Washington D.C. with Close Up Foundation.
Throughout all of these events I was constantly going to marching contests, and concert
performances including a state and a national competition, not to mention all of the solo
and ensemble competitions. I was Secretary in Fellowship of Christian Students
(FCS), and
was a member of National Honors Society, Beta Club, Science Club, Student Government
Association, Computer Club, Indian Education, and Spanish Club.
Throughout my school life I also took part in many science related activities such
as Science Fairs (multiple 1st, 2nd's, and HM's), Science Olympiad (HM),
egg drops, Model Rocketry competitions (1'st), and a Checker Tournament
(1st), I was a member of both the Space & Rocket Center, and
Rockwell Explorer Posts, and of BSA Troop 86.

After being a Cub Scout,
Webelos,
Boy Scout, Order of the Arrow member, and an Explorer in two Explorer Posts, I was Honored
with the Eagle Scout award in March of 1996. I am still an active Scout, and active in the

like. |
