Born in San Diego, CA, but grew up in Carson City, NV and graduated from Carson High School in 1996. I was an intern at Bently Nevada during all breaks while attending the University of Nevada, Reno where I received my BS in ME in the December of 2000. I had the opportunity to work in various areas of rotor dynamics and on many projects as an intern at Bently. I accepted a research engineer position with BRDRC (Bently Rotor Dynamics Research Corporation) after graduation from UNR. I enjoyed work but wanted to learn more so after getting married in July of 2001 my wife Jennifer and I moved to Virginia to pursue our Masters Degree's at Virginia Tech. Currently researching the field of MEMS for application in weapons communication and plan to complete my MS in May of 2003.
Design and test MEMs-fabricated resonators for wireless communications.
