He received a master's degree from the University of Pittsburgh, a master's degree in Science and Technology Studies from Virginia Tech. Focusing on national security space, he has also done a detail in the Pentagon's Space Policy office. His chapter on orbital debris was published in the 2016 Space Security Index and another essay on debris is forthcoming as a journal article.
