# About me

Most of my photos are untouched, however there are a few I really like and have adjusted the highlights/shadows & bumped up the saturation a bit. Although photoshop is a wonderful tool, and often necessary to get the uniquely stylized pictures that are becoming popular, I tend to use it very rarely and only to make up for the limitations of my 70D.

Before middle school I was interested in rocket engines. Luckily my family went to Kennedy Space Center several times on summer vacation while I was young. Since middle school, aircraft designs and turbine engines have been my passion. I have been making can-type combustion chambers out of food cans since 8th grade (mostly because it was the only part of a jet engine i could make myself at the time). My wildest dream would be to become a propulsion engineer and work in research and development.

After my enlistment in the Marine Corps where I was a cryogenic technician, I was hired as a field service supervisor for a company that builds several sizes of turbo expanders for industrial cryogenic plants as well as centrifugal and reciprocating cryogenic pumps.

My mind constantly wonders and I often design little inventions or designs to improve something I see. I also got interested in photography while in middle school (more on this in "My photography story" journal). I have a great interest in anything that has to do with science or mechanics. However I also have a love for nature, rather it be animals from reptiles to insects to mammals, as well as plants.
