Another Webpage. . . |

I frequently post pictures of activities on a webpage for friends and family to view. I will use this site to post pictures I've taken from winter 2003 and on. This should include my Commissioning ceremony, flying pics, and other fun pics while I was living in Pacific Beach. Come back for updates. |

Ok, this was a summer ago, but hey, it's a cool pic I'm proud I took even though it made me sick taking it. Here I'm in an F-18 Hornet, a navy fighter jet, and we're halfway inverted. We were on our way upside down while flying over Sequoia National Park. |

Once gravity was no longer an issue it became difficult to keep from floating away and turning in all directions. Here we are enjoying the feelings of weightlessness while hanging on to the walls. |

Here I am floating in a zero gravity environment aboard NASA's KC-135 "Weightless Wonder" (aka "Vomit Comet") microgravity research aircraft. I was part of a team of 5 USD students who had the opportunity of a lifetime to conduct research (while still having fun) in this unique environment. |
