Executive Director at Spaceport America. Honored to work for the people of New Mexico at the world's first purpose-built commercial spaceport.
A big day for New Mexico yesterday, with Rocket Lab celebrating the preliminary signing of CHIPS Act funding for increased manufacturing of space-grade solar cells. I was able to attend, and meet and hear great comments from Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham, U.S. Senator Martin Heinrich, U.S. Senator Ben Ray Lujan, U.S. Representative Melanie Stansbury, Rocket Lab CFO Adam Spice, Rocket Lab VP Operations Jerry Winton, U.S. Deputy Scretary of Commerce Don Graves, Albuquerque City Councilor Renee Grout, Rocket Lab VP & General Manager Brad Clevenger, and Rocket Lab VP Business Development Navid Fatemi. This also builds NewSpace Nexus and the whole Space Valley Coalition in NM. This is exciting, and I was glad to be there. https://lnkd.in/g_Pcc9aY
