Hello fellow rocketeers!
As a kid, I was always interested in rockets, from subscale to full-scale. I also always wanted wanted to get into model rocketry and build my own rockets and possibly motors as well, but my father was Sam Safety and he put a stop to that pretty quickly... Fast-forward a few years and I get a dual bachelors degree in Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering at UF so technically I am now "qualified" to build rockets. I currently work for a company that makes drones, so I don't get to build rockets for my day job, but my evenings and weekends are free owing to the fact I am an engineer and I like quiet dark spaces void of people to plan my eventual world takeover. So now is as good of a time as ever to get my rocketry fix. The two things I am most interested in are actively controlled rockets and liquid propellent. (I don't really plan on making a liquid fueled rocket engine any time soon, but I think it is fun doing the math behind them and coming up with a design in my free time).
So yah, that's me! Nice to meet you guys!
