Introduction to Dave

Me and my family on a vacation to New Mexico in 2015.

Hello, my name is David.  I am a senior electrical engineering major. When I was in high school I ran a business fixing Xboxs out of my garage which is what got me started into Electrical Engineering and computers.  I started college at Ohio State for Computer Science and transferred here to OU after 2 and a half years.  When I came here I switched to electrical engineering because I wasn't feeling comp-sci and it ended up being a great decision.  I'm a big fan of Lord of the Rings and I like to pretend the Hobbit movies don't exist.  They are my favorite books since I was a kid and they're the only books I've ever re-read a few times.  Some of my favorite movies are Interstellar, I Love You Man, Last of the Mohicans, A River Runs Through It, Legends of the Fall, most Star Wars movies, and the Lord of the Rings trilogy.  I watch all kinds of TV but what I've been watching recently is Black Mirror, Brooklyn 99, and Rick and Morty.  I also like to play video games when I've got free time and I'd say my favorite games are Borderlands 2, Assassins Creed Black Flag, Sean White Snowboarding, and any number of Nintendo games.  I've been to all 50 states, Canada, Mexico, Australia, Ireland, England, and a couple places around the Mediterranean.  My favorite place I've visited was Ireland because of how beautiful it is and how genuinely nice the local people are to travelers.  I currently work at the Radar Innovation Lab here at OU and am planning to get my masters in Electrical Engineering there.  The RIL is a research lab for the purpose of developing weather radar and applications for the national weather center and other interested entities.  Once I finish my masters, I would like to work in radar somewhere on the west coast.
