Engineering Physics

Living in Houston, Texas, Craig always enjoyed visiting the Johnson Space Center. In fact, when he was in 7th grade, Craig came home from school and said "I want to be an astronaut" and that's why he went to Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University for Aerospace Engineering. Before even starting classes, Craig switched to Engineering Physics because of the emphasis on Space Systems Engineering. During his four years at ERAU, Craig has been highly involved on campus by holding positions in Student Government, Omicron Delta Kappa, and working for the Physical Sciences Department for all four years of his college career. After graduating, Craig plans to go back to Houston for a couple of months and then move to Los Angeles, California, to start his new job with The Boeing Company as a Spacecraft Systems Engineer.
