The Penn State Alumni Association

What’s been happening:

After graduation in May 1983, I began my career as an aerospace engineer at the NASA Lewis Research Center in Cleveland, OH (now the John H. Glenn Research Center at Lewis Field.) I have been privileged to be involved with payloads for the Space Shuttle and the International Space Station. I was part of the team that placed two GOES satellites in orbit on Atlas/Centaur launch vehicles. I've worked with Russia on an experimental payload for the Mir Space Station. I've served as Chief Engineer for test facilities being built for Orion, and I am currently performing SE&I and T&V duties for the Orion Service Module. In 1991, I married my wife, Roberta and in 1994 we had our daughter, Carissa. We reside in North Ridgeville, OH with our "feisty feist" named Bellatrix.
