I'm a community leader for propeller. Feel free to send me a message with any questions you may have on propeller.
I'm also an engineer that loves anything related to science. I'm interested in physics, astronomy, space exploration, Earth sciences, and mathematics to name just a few. I currently reside in Columbus Ohio and I am a RABID Buckeye fan.
Be sure to check out my propeller group! It's the science group, of course.
