I’m Vernon, a retired engineering professional, business student, and lifelong maker.
My career at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory spanned 1985–2021, including work as a Senior Engineering Technical Associate and Senior Technical Supervisor. That experience shaped how I approach problems: understand the details, think carefully, and build with purpose.
I graduated from high school as my class salutatorian. Today, I’m studying business, with graduation planned for May 2028, and exploring the intersection of analysis, financial services, and technology. Away from the desk, I enjoy engineering and woodworking.
Good work starts
with a conversation.
