I am a follower of Jesus, have been married to my wife, Laura, since 1988, have two grown children, and have a new home near Clemson, SC. I retired from Raytheon on August 1, 2023, and joined the ME department at Clemson University as full-time teaching faculty. I look forward to updating this story in the future.

My hobbies
My hobby has been adjunct teaching while working in industry. Now that I am full-time faculty at Clemson University, I will be looking for another hobby. Any ideas?

Favorite books
I typically don't have favorites, but I recently read a great book by Heather Holleman entitled Seated with Christ.

Current Research
The ME department does not require me to do research as teaching faculty, but I would be happy to meet and discuss structural dynamics (shock and vibe), finite element modeling, structural and dynamic response optimization, optomechanical design and analysis, or similar topics.
