Me
me at the Berlin Wall on Trinity Choir tour - March 2001
I worked at GE Aero Energy Products for nearly four years. Power engineering wasn't exactly where my strong suit was coming out of college, but after a couple of years experience I've become an "expert" in generator protection. Now I work for CCSI in Conroe. I'm their Engineering Manager, but I'm the only engineer. I also tutor math, email me if you live in North Houston and need some affordable math help.
I graduated magna cum laude in engineering science at Trinity University in San Antonio.�I was looking into electronics - either semiconductors or telecommunications - but those markets pretty much busted right when I was looking for a job. I used to work at Instructional Media Services in the library there. I drove a golf cart around campus (terrorizing the squirrels) and delivered audiovisual equipment to various classrooms on campus. One summer I interned at KCI, specifically charged with testing the BariMaxx. That's engineer-talk for "I got to break stuff all summer!" Those little metal pieces on the footboard are my contribution to make the design more robust.
To help pay for college, I taught an SAT class for Kaplan. I can honestly say that Princeton Review is a much better use of your money.
In school, I was a member of Alpha Phi Omega - Delta Pi chapter. I was the seceratary/treasurer for Trinity Symphony Docents for the San Antonio Symphony. I also sang in Trinity Choir and Chamber Singers. I was in almost every other ensemble on campus, too: Parker Chapel Handbell Choir, Pep Band, and I've performed with the Trinity Wind Symphony, Orchestra, and Jazz Band.
My family is pretty interesting, too. � My mom got promoted to principal at Bagby Elementary School in San Jose, California. My dad is a pipeline designer, and he works in New Mexico. My brother, Caleb, graduated from U. Mass, Amhurst. He's a bit of a poet. Here's a wedding song he wrote for his bride (lyrics music). They live in Midland, Texas now.
Stacy and I got married two weeks after graduation in 2001 and moved to Houston. We lived really close to the brand new Reliant Stadium.
Also, Stacy and I have a cockatiel. His name is Lexi. He's finally grown a tail. Later he had to have wing surgery. He's had a rough life... even though we spoil him.
