Extracurricular Activities
I play music and write music. As a musician, I have performed in hundreds of clubs in multiple states and countries. I also help others record and mix their music. I enjoy weightlifting.
A Little Bit Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ Me
I grew up in Sacramento, CA. My mother taught English as a second language and adult education. My father was a pipe-fitter and welder. I got into music at a young age and started recording my bands when I was in junior high school. By high school I was performing in clubs and continued to experiment with audio recording. After high school, I got into computers and worked as a tech for multiple companies, Earthlink, Apple, and Eyefinity (a subsidiary of Vision Service Plan). After moving to Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ in 2005, I opened a commercial recording studio and spent the next thirteen years recording music for clients and traveling the world performing as a musician. My desire to learn more about electronics led me to an electronics tech course and I then realized that I wanted to be an engineer.
Why I Chose Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ Tech and My Major
I was on a journey to find a good program for Electrical Engineering. I had completed coursework from Cleveland Institute of Electronics for an electronics tech course but they had recently closed so I began asking around for recommendations and doing internet searches. Several friends recommended Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ Tech. I met with Dr. Aaron Sher and enjoyed our meeting. I felt Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ Tech was a good fit.
My Influential Professors
I had the opportunity to meet with Dr. Aaron Sher when starting the application process. I really enjoyed our meeting and conversation, and it sounds like we have mutual interests in music and musical equipment design. I look forward to studying with Dr. Sher as well as other professors at Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ Tech.
My Greatest Learning Experience At Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ Tech
This will be my first year at Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ Tech and I look forward to furthering my education there. I believe I bring some unique qualities of perspective to my studies at Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ Tech. In addition to performing in multiple countries as a musician, I also have worked as a studio engineer, recording many types of music and working with people of diverse backgrounds.
My Plans After Graduation
After graduating, I plan to seek work in electronic design. I have multiple areas of interest such as musical equipment and antenna engineering. I will seek to excel in whichever field I land and work to contribute to engineering societies.
