“I’ve been interested in technology since I was a kid fooling around with a soldering iron and a multimeter in my dad’s garage. At the same time, I always loved books and reading. You might say I was conflicted – I entered college as a creative writing major and walked away with physics and engineering degrees. I was lucky enough to be part of the team that built the mirrors for NASA’s Chandra X-Ray Telescope. During that time, I wrote an article for Laser Focus World on the process of grinding and polishing the mirrors and realized I’d found my true calling.

“Since then, I’ve had the great good fortune to spend my days talking with engineers about cutting edge technology and then turning it into stories to inform, engage, and educate.”
