About Me


Hello, my name is Michael Rouse, and I am an enrolled student at Missouri University of Science & Technology. I'm an A+ Certified Computer Technician and have been working with computers the majority of my life. Recently rocketry has become a major part of my life and I've flown three rockets, losing only one of them. With each rocket they get larger and more expensive, and I hope my next rocket will help me obtain a Level 1 Certification.
