I was raised in small-town Texas, where I grew up playing baseball and working around the property with my father. I attended the University of Houston to attain a Bachelors degree in Physics before moving on to earn a Masters degree in Mechanical Engineering from Texas A&M University. I have been employed with Samsung Austin Semiconductor for 3 years now as an engineer responsible for the maintenance, sustainment, and improvement of our POU Abatement equipment. I keep up with a co-ed recreational softball league here in the city of Austin and enjoy the occasional brewery tour.
