Hello and good day to all. I am currently a graduate student studying Aerospace and Mechanical Systems Engineering at the University of Liverpool in Liverpool, England. I will be graduating (hopefully!) in December 2010, whereas afterwards my life is an open book waiting to be written.

I got involved in this project when Lori approached me saying that she needed help, back in early fall of 2007 at our alma mater, The University of Dayton. She pitched the solar autoclave idea to me, and I eventually decided to join her. Since then, we have worked very closesly in the UD Business Plan Competition, the senior Design Lab, and organizing and establishing Salud del Sol, Inc. Working on the many projects under the auspices of Salud del Sol has become my greatest and proudest achievement in life thus far, and I anxiously look forward to a bright and sustainable future.

Please come back again often, because we are always updating saluddelsol.org with new articles, happenings, and even just good ole’ fun blogs.

You can read my writings here.

Cheers!
