What’s been happening:

Soon after graduation, I was married to Sheana Deeny (BS Education '02, PSU) and was commissioned as a second lieutenant in the USAF. Since then I have worked at Wright-Patterson AFB as a air-breathing propulsion engineer for the AFRL and completed two masters degrees in Aeronautical and Astronautical Engineering at AFIT, and at Los Angeles AFB as a rocket propulsion engineer for the Delta II and IV rockets and a systems analysis engineer for the Atlas V rocket. My wife and I have one son Owen and my wife has since been awarded a Master of Arts in Education from Chapman University. My next USAF assignment is to go back to AFIT to start a PhD in Aeronautical Engineering. I'm looking forward to every new job the Air Force brings! Go PSU!
