Bio

I was raised outside of Boston, MA and, grew up between Princeton, NJ and Atlantic City, NJ.  Where I went to high school and worked as a ocean lifeguard during the summer.  I followed that with studying Aerospace Engineering up at Syracuse University in Upstate New York while competing on their division 1 swim team.  After graduating from 'Cuse I started to look for what I wanted to do next.  My goal in life was always to be an astronaut.  The coolest thing I think an astronaut gets to do is a spacewalk or an EVA.  I started looking into spacesuit design.  I found this guy in North Dakota building spacesuits at the University of North Dakota.  It did not take long before I was a graduate student working in Dr. Pablo de Leon's Human Spaceflight Lab in the Space Studies Department at UND.  During my time at UND I got a summer internship with NASA's Marshal Spaceflight Center's Robotics Academy.  During this internship I got to work for the Lunar Google-X prize team Rocket City Pioneers. After I graduated from UND with Masters of Science in Space Studies I moved to Houston, TX for an internship at NASA's Johnson Space Center through the National Space Biomedical Research Institute (NSBRI).   I managed to stick around JSC, in the Mission Control Center now, after getting a job as a Biomedical Flight Controller (call sign BME) with Wyle Laboratories.

This blog will show some of the inter-workings of NASA Mission Control Center for ISS.  And to put to rest that statement, "I thought they closed down NASA."
