My public service journey began in 2017 when I was elected to

Loved talking Atoms, Centrifuges, and Enriched Uranium with the Rotary Club of Fair Oaks Ranch on Tuesday. The BISD Superintendent gave me a passing grade, so I'll call it a success! I hope I gave our community some useful context for all the nuclear talk in the news. Your friendly neighborhood nuclear engineer, signing off.
