Ron's Story
Life
I live in a suburb of Los Angeles, and work as an aerospace engineer for a company that makes rocket engines. I enjoy living in Southern California - the weather is great most of the year and the big city provides lots of things to see and do. It's a lot different than the hometown feel of Spencer! I play guitar in a country rock band called "Revelry Country". I am proud parent of boy/girl twins (born Jan 2011) Owen and Maya.
College
After high school, I went to Rose-Hulman Inst of Technology in Terre Haute IN. I graduated in 1986 with a degree in Mechanical Engineering, and went to graduate school in Pasadena CA at CalTech. I received a Master's degree in Mechanical Engineeri...Expand for more
ng there in 1987, and then moved on to a job in engineering in southern CA. I briefly went to Univ of Illinois working on a PhD in 1992, but decided I wanted to get back to CA and to my career working in the aerospace industry.
Workplace
I work for Aerojet Rocketdyne that makes rocket engines. My job involves analyzing and developing computer simulations of rocket engine performance. At work, we joke that we're all "rocket scientists"! I've worked primarily on the development of the Space Shuttle Main Engine during my career, but now that the space shuttle program is over I am working on a new rocket called the SLS. I like what I do, and my work is very interesting (at least to me).
