After graduating from St. Ambrose in 2001, I continued on to earn my master’s degree from Oregon State University. I later accepted a position with Lockheed Martin Corporation in 2005. I currently live in Denver, Colo., working on the most exciting space exploration engineering project in recent modern history for Lockheed Martin Space System Company. We were awarded an $8 billion NASA contract to be the leading systems integrator for the new Crew Exploration Vehicle (CEV), a.k.a. Orion, human spacecraft to replace the space shuttle that will be decommissioned in 2010. The CEV/Orion spacecraft is the future for human space exploration and travel to the International Space Station, the Moon in 2020 (estimated), and Mars in 2030 (estimated).
Below is a still picture of a Lockheed Martin animation of the project I'm currently working on for NASA. It is the future of human space flight. I perform system hazard analyses for propulsion and structures (crew module, service module, launch abort system) for ground and flight.

Have you, too, always had an interest and aptitude in science, math or technology?
Take this short quiz and see if this sounds like you:
- When you were little, you spent more time trying to figure out how your toys were put together than actually playing with them.
- Your favorite birthday presents were a sketchpad and pens, or Legos.
- Even though it was geeky, you secretly looked forward to your arithmetic and science classes.
- You’re the one your friends come to when they need help figuring out how to get things done.
- You still get a charge out of math and science.
Even when you’re challenged, you don’t have to worry too much about pulling down a decent grade in those subjects.

If any of these sounds like you, you might consider a career in
industrial engineering.
Now more than ever, businesses and manufacturers need qualified industrial engineers and technicians who
have a combination of engineering, business and people skills.
