I am advancing our nation in space with FreeFlyer, a satellite mission analysis, design, and operations software solution used by NASA, USAF, NRO and many others. Specifically, I pursue new business, manage customer relationships, and help users tailor FreeFlyer to suit their needs. For instance, I helped NASA use FreeFlyer to overhaul the Collision Avoidance for the International Space Station.

I also serve as a space policy advocate, working with the AIAA Public Policy Committee and others to advance our nation's use of space.

In 2014 I graduated from Purdue University with a Master's in Astrodynamics and Space Applications. While at Purdue, I advised President Mitch Daniels as he co-chaired the National Research Council's Human Spaceflight Committee.

I have previous engineering experience at NASA Kennedy and NASA Glenn (NASA Academy), as well as space policy experience at the National Research Council.
