Workplace
After OSU grad school, I spent 15 years with NASA, doing tectonics and gravity modeling research.
I followed that with an 11 year stint in ministry.
Then after some good growth and soul searching, I returned to NASA to assist with cryospheric studies relating to global thermal dynamics (aka "Global Warming").
So it would seem that I was always a ping-pong kind of person, bouncing from coast to coast and career to career. Science was always my childhood dream; sometimes its best to stick with your childhood dreams. I enjoyed ministry, but it never seemed to utilize my best talents.
That gets you up to date.
