He who learns must suffer. And even in our sleep pain that cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart, and in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom to us by the awful grace of God.     

-Aeschylus

My name is Ian Abbott, and I live in Santa Clara, California. I am a graduate of San Jose State University, where I earned a bachelor of science degree in aviation operations (concentration in maintenance management) as well as a minor in business. I have also completed significant coursework in chemistry and other sciences.

My work history includes many years of experience in biotechnology manufacturing and technical support, including supervision, as well as some aviation industry experience.
