In December of 1991 I earned certificate of completion in the Air Training Command/GMC Leadership camp from the AFROTC in Puerto Rico.
In 1992 to 1993 I earned a recognition award from the National Dean’s List for outstanding academic achievement.
In July of 1996 I earned a certificate of completion of the Technical Russian Aerospace Summer Program from Moscow Aviation Institute, Moscow, Russia and a certificate of completion in the Basics of Manned Spacecraft Life Support System (Cosmonaut Training) in Yuri A. Gagarin, Star City, Russia.
In May 1998 I earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Aerospace Studies with minors in Space studies, Mathematics and Humanities from Embry Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach, FL.
In April of 1998, I earned a Boeing certificate of completion in the Manufacturing Planning School and a certificate of achievement.
In 1999-2000 I earned two certificates of completion in the basics of the Russian language.
In June 2000 I earned a Master’s degree in Material Science and Engineering from the University of Washington, Seattle, WA
AVIATION AND SPACE TRAINING
In 1996 Astronaut/Cosmonaut training program at Yuri A. Gagarin Space Center, Russia. I learned about the space flight training program on the space station-ECLSS and associated spacecraft. I received theoretical training of both, the Soyuz-Transfer Module (TM) and Orbital Space Station-ECLSS. Also, became familiarized with the design and configuration of the transport-vehicle and reviewed the transport-vehicle ECLSS and emergency-rescue space suit “Sokol KB”. I obtained training on actual space flight suits used by Russian and international Astronauts/Cosmonauts, Furthermore, practical EVA-training using “ORLAND-DM” for EVA was a plus. I learned the peculiarities of Space Flight Operations Safety, emergency training in manned spacecraft and airlock procedures and operations during EVA preparation. I learned the fundamentals of space navigation and became familiarized with actual astronavigational simulators (used by Cosmonauts) and Cosmonaut adaptation to space flight human factors. I reviewed the fundamentals of space medicine and obtained the actual training of the Vestibular System, utilizing the Specialized Dynamic Stands. The same year, I took a Russian Aerospace Summer Program. I visited the Mission Control Center, in Kalingrad/Korolev. Lectures were given about the Space Station MIR, /Soyuz, and operations of other spacecraft. I visited the Institute for Medical and Biological Problems for long term space flight. Met the legend, world space flight record, Medical Doctor and Cosmonaut Valery Polyakov who provided us with lecture on physiological effects for long space flight and visited the ground based “Space Station Experiment Complex”. I visited Monino (the largest collection of Russian Air Force Aircraft in Russia) located inside an active Russian Air Force Base and was briefed by a former MIG-25 Russian AF Colonel. I was given ECLSS-lectures for space flights at MAI (Moscow Aviation Institute) and visited Lab for ECLSS of MIR Space Station, Soyuz Transfer Module and Buran experience). I had lectures on Design of Russian Satellites and visited Lavochkin Plant and modern fighter aircraft design and met Professor Oleg Samoilovitch, designer of the SU25, SU27 fighters, T4, B100 supersonic bombers, and many other aircraft. Also visited fighter lab for interactive demonstration of Russian fighter aircraft. Nevertheless, I received a cultural tour throughout the city of Moscow.
In 1998 Aviation Ground School by the Boeing Company
In 1998 Aerodynamic for Engineers by the Boeing Company
In 1998 Analysis of Airplane cabin Noise Measurement and Cabin Noise Reduction by the Boeing Company
In 1992 8 hours flight crewmember in Air Force C-130, AFROTC
AEROSPACE PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
In January 29, 1999 I became an Analyst Engineer/Scientist I for the International Space Station (ISS) program in Houston, TX for the Boeing Space and Communications Division. I perform activities related to the hardware and software operations integration of the ISS, stage operability, hazard, and malfunction procedures. My expertise area is modeling the failure propagation of the ISS Orbital Replaceable Units (ORUs) and Segments utilizing MultiGraph Architecture (MGA) system in conjunction with the automated failure analysis tool, Diagnostics Toolset (DTool).
In January 13, 1998 I became a Manufacture Engineer Planner (ME) in Seattle, WAS for the Boeing Commercial Airplane Group (BCAG). I supported the development and maintainability of assemblies sequence, details parts, kits, and re-work plans for the 747, 757, 767 and 777 commercial airplanes currently in service and production utilizing the Define and Control Airplane Configuration (DCAC) system.

OTHER ACTIVITIES
I participate in the year to year basis in the “Adopt a Family Program” from the Boeing Company. I’m currently sponsoring one poor child from Children International. During Y2K, I’ve provided orientation to 5th grade students from Sherwood Elementary in Seattle, WA regarding the space program. In Texas Day, I served as a speaker to orient/encourage 7th grade students at the League City intermediate school to pursue science and technology studies. I served as Judge for Junior/High School student robotic competitions in Houston, TX. I worked for Stewart Marchman Center (non-profit organization) in assisting the Group Treatment Leaders in filling behavioral statistical data of delinquent youth. In addition, I worked with the Juvenile Detention Center in Daytona Beach FL in assisting the Detention Care Worker (DCW) with delinquent juvenile’s critical interventions utilizing techniques per the Department of Juvenile Pathogens, and Med Administration, Crisis Intervention Techniques Training (CIT-Verbal/Physical) for Adolescent by DJJ, Aggression Control Technique Training (ACT) for Adult by ACT Corporation, a non-profit human services organization.
