About Me

I grew up in Globe, AZ and love going back there to visit my parents. I currently live in Blacksburg, VA where I am working towards a master's degree in Civil Engineering with a focus in geospatial applications. After graduation, who knows we're my family and I will end up—I'm up for just about any place on the planet.

Other things about Me

I've recently taken an interest in my family history. My maternal grandfather kept a regular journal that all of his grandkids can now benefit from. In my free time I like to not only read it, but transcribe the words on to a blog made specifically as a tribute to him and his life.

This is a 3D Model of a Land Development project that I worked on my first semester at Virginia Tech. We first engineered the whole site in AutCAD Civil 3D. Then I made this 3D model in Google Sketchup. That was the easy part but, to the lay person, looks the coolest.

When I was 19 I accepted a call to be a full-time missionary in Portugal. I can't imagine any way to have better used those two years. They prepared me both spiritually and temporally for the rest of my life.

When I was 21 I decided to enlist in the United States Air Force after hearing the 2007 State of the Union Address. I joined the Civil Engineering career field and have been assigned to 4 bases, all in the southwest corner of the CONUS: Nellis AFB, NV; Luke AFB, AZ; Vandenberg AFB, CA; Peterson AFB. CO.

After my wife and I graduated from ASU we decided to see a different part of the country and moved to Virginia where I attended graduate school. Blacksburg, Virginia will always have a soft spot in our hearts.

  

Now we live in Dallas, Texas with no plans of leaving.
