Here’s what I came up with using the USAJobs resume builder and Paul’s advice. I think this does a much better job highlighting my accomplishments, though I am definitely open to suggestions for improving the visual style for non-federal positions.

One of my favorite stories from our social media presence is the time I went and confirmed with NORAD that Santa Claus would be visiting the ISS for a little girl in the UK.…[Read more]

I can’t say that I watch the channel much anyways. This is just ridiculous.

My wife was on the ride-out team at Ben Taub and Pearland was not under evac order, so I sheltered in place with the dog and the cat at home. The power went out around midnight and didn’t come back on for 12 days.
