After graduating from MCC in Waco with an associate’s degree, I attended school in Austin, TEXAS. My college experiences were limited to the cramped LRC of WRW building on UT campus, as well as the prehistoric wind tunnel and a thousand pounds of textbooks. While always busy in school, I still enjoyed it, we did get to fly a flight simulator.
I played on the UT Rugby team for a year, and found out that a bunch of sweaty guys tackling each other over a jacked-up looking football can be quite enjoyable! I also participated in the Air Force ROTC program for a semester.
I graduated from University of Texas-Austin in August of 2009. I got my Bachelors Degree in Aerospace engineering. Yeah I did it because I DID wanna be called a "ROCKET-SCIENTIST"
For those of you who don't know what aerospace engineering means. Let’s put it this way: with my newly obtained knowledge of material sciences, aerodynamic principles, and structural dynamics - I can build my own spaceship! Ha, I wish. I think you have to get at least a 3.8 GPA to qualify for that. I was close to that, before I started taking engineering classes at UT.
Basically, I COULD get a job for NASA, Boeing, or any other aerospace syndicate who would hire me. So far that has been a big goose-egg, but, hey everything happens for a reason right?
So on to the next chapter of my life! It’s a real page turner!

I can remember when you were just a child, you wanted to go to the NASA Space Camp.And no we couldn't afford it. But you always said you wanted to be an Astronaut.
