David's Story
Life
My Spouse
We locked eyes over the fax machine at work. It was pretty much all over at that point. She orchestrated a couple of opportunities to meet me socially, I asked her answering machine out for a date and we were married about five months later, in a small ceremony in a chapel at Copper Mountain Ski Resort in Colorado.
My Pets
We have a couple of outdoors cats to keep down the local rodent population, which we will be leaving behind when we move to Orlando this month. We also have a pound puppy that is about 5 years old and acts like he's much younger. He's mostly white with brown patches on his face and he's about 50 pounds; very fast runner and likes to play rough. He lets my daughter sit on him and pretty much endures anything she wants to do to him.
My Kids
We adopted Emily from China in the fall o...Expand for more
f 1997. She is now five years old and is a very happy little girl. Because of her constant requests for a baby sister, we are going back to China to get another daughter in early 2002.
Update: We just got a picture of Abby late January 2002; we travel in March 2002 to Hunan province to get her.
My Job
One of the nice things about my job is I can always move on to something new when I get tired of what I am doing. I have designed navigation systems, written simulations of Strategic Defense weapons systems, designed attitude control systems for an interplanetary probe, written software to analyze telemetry data, and designed gimbal pointing control systems for an orbital observation platform. I spend a lot of time on the computer and also get to use a fair amount of the math skills I picked up in postgraduate work.
