About Me

Too smart for my own good, with a sick sense of humor that means anything has potential to be funny, and single long enough to be nearly domesticated.I have been working in flight test since 1997, and have been a pilot since 1991. If it's on the Edwards flightline, I've probably flown in it. I actually like the engineering almost as much as the time spent upstairs, but it is nice to get away from the cube, strap on some taxpayer property, and go play with stuff even the the warfighter won't see for a while.I'm only grown-up and mature when I need to, and have learned the value in stopping as often as possible to take a look at the world around you, even when that world is in the eyes of the person right in front of you. I try not to leave the important things unsaid, the world can change in a heartbeat, whether you're 50,000 feet up or driving on the 405.I can't dance, I'm a klutz on the ground, it's the size 13's. I can cook anything, but almost never for just myself. I build my own computers, can tell you why the sky is blue, have flown high enough that the sky above me was more black than blue, and have been faster than most bullets, and I can do the math to prove how it all happens... it's just that when I see see it in real life, I'm still amazed.I also just learned to scuba dive. I'm hooked, and can't wait to go again.

My Interests

Aviation, engineering, snowboarding, cooking, guitar, motorcycles, photography (mostly aerial), and many other things. NEWEST ADDITION: SCUBA DIVING, very cool, lots of fun!

Some aerial photos I've taken at work:
Near Cuttyback Lake

Low Alt Formation

Both Speckled Trout over the Sierra Nevadas.. First time one refueled the other.

I'd like to meet:

Fun people, interesting souls, snowboarders, pilots, engineers, photographers, scuba enthusiasts. I have a low tolerance for idiots and those who let someone else think for them. Those targets are too easy...

Music:

Anything except rap... and I really don't like much country.

Movies:

Shawshank Redemption; for some reason that one just makes me stop flipping through the 999 channels until it's over....

Television:

Cartoon Network's Adult Swim (ATHF, Sealab 2021, etc.), Iron Chef, whatever's on when I can't sleep...

Books:

Yeah, I read those too...

Madrid

So, here we all are, in Madrid. Work was finished on Friday, now we're all just nursing massive hangovers and trying to figure out what we did last night. I'm almost glad to be going home tomorrow....
