Growing
up in Southern California Provided many opportunities
to learn about space and space exploration. In High
School I was interested in Physics and Computers. I
attended some classes at Pasadena City College including
the Astronomy class. We met in an old observatory that
had been used by many famous Scientists including Albert
Einstein. I was Graduated from California Polytechnic
University in Mechanical Engineering and have used the
skills I learned to provide air conditioned comfort
at places like California Institute of Technology and
Disneyland. My family relocated to Syracuse in 1995.
As an engineer for Carrier Corporation I helped keep
the Ampato Ice Maiden cool for her visit to the Smithsonian.
As a Solar System ambassador I enjoy sharing information
about space exploration and the technology that allows
us such an expanded view of our Universe.
