Hi Doug,

After KU I went to grad school in Boston and then worked for a small
satellite software company in Philly for a few months and then headed
out to the dot-com gold rush of Silicon Valley. After the crash I went
to South America where I started my own software/finance company and
then that went belly up so after that I worked for a small but very
well-known aero shop in SoCal for a couple of years and now I switched
careers again and I'm working for a Wall Street firm in NYC.

I figure since I'm now married I'll finally settle down enough to be
able to build a plane :)

I remember Dr Farokhi very well. Back at KU I went by my middle name
(Miguel), I'm not sure he'll remember me, as I never took any of his
classes. But I did work at Aerotech for a few weeks! I'm sure Dr
Downing will remember me, but I think he retired.. right?
