BIO
Grew up in a small town in Massachusetts and graduated from a tiny highschool. As a teenager I fixed up my dad's old motorcycle and decided that I wanted to know more about how/why it worked rather than just how to fix it. Went to the UMass Amherst for Mechanical Engineering and fell in love with the romance of space and space travel. Went to Stanford for Aerospace and got my Masters. Worked on spacecraft for a few years but it was more The Office than Star Trek so I quit. Founded a company.
