About Me

Me, at the Mauna Kea observatory

Hi, I'm Ethan.
I'm a US AirForce weather forecaster with experience in mission planning, Operational Command and Control, and asymmetrical predictive risk assessments. I also have experience in software design, publishing, project management, big data, network infrastructure, server administration, security research, sensitive materials handling, biological/medical research, and prehospital medical care. I'm currently pursuing a degree in Computer Engineering with a focus on Electronics Hardware Design. I've led both small (3-4) and large (600+) teams, and managed projects that influenced US national strategic decisions. I have very broad, extensive experience in holistic solution finding that make me an excellent fit for highly technical teams.

I'm also a goofy father of 3 that enjoys kicking back, relaxing, afternoons on the back porch, fixing something broken (like one of the old clunkers I drive around), or researching something crazy like how to build a helicopter. I love polar bears, dry humor, subtle jokes, and puns that poke gentle fun without anybody realizing.

I'm currently on a quest for enlightenment; seeking to be happy by myself, and learning to trust and forgive non-transactionally. Any book recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
